How to identify it
A 2012 first printing from Image. There are later printings; confirm the first-print indicia.
Common mistakes
Second and later printings are sold as firsts; check the indicia. Grade drives value on this modern book.
Grade considerations
High-grade first-printing copies are scarcer than the era suggests. Spine ticks and corner wear are the usual grade-limiters.
