The Golden One

Notes

• 1st printing, states "Ace edition / February 1998" and "10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1".
• This publication is the 1st printing of Ace 0441005616 / 0-441-00561-6 at $5.99 that has two bar-codes stickers applied with a new ISBN, 1-57297-278-5. The first sticker is on the inside of the front cover and the second is on the back cover and are covering the original Ace bar codes. The stickers only state the ISBN and price ($5.99).
• Checking Amazon for ISBN 1572972785 / 1-57297-278-5 reports the following:

  Site	Publisher	Date
  Book	Ace Books	February, 1998
  Amazon.com	Berkley	December 1997
  Amazon.co.uk	Boulevard	Dec 1997
  Amazon.ca	Boulevard	December 1997

• Based on the data from the Amazon sites this ISFDB record has been updated to:
  • Note the year as 1997-12-00 though the physical publication states the Ace publication date of February 1998. I would suspect this is part of a deal with Lucasfilm to get the publication out for the Christmas market though it's odd they were able to do this three full months before Ace's publication date.
• The cover artist, Bob Eggleton, is not credited. See the series bibliographic comments about this.
