First Trade Edition (preceded one day earlier by a 377-copy special edition), published before the English edition. Dark blue cloth with gilt blocking to front cover and gilt titling to spine. Light green unclipped ($2.00) DJ with dark blue titles, slightly darkened on spine. 1-1/2" chip bottom spine, 2 small chips top of spine.
