Happy birthday!

Look, here's a hardcover edition of the first Parker book, The Hunter, by Donald Westlake writing as Richard Stark.

It's even signed by the author.

And here's another hardcover edition of the same book, this time as Point Blank because of the movie adaptation.

This is a UK edition and also signed by the author.

And now here's a third hardcover edition. I don't own this one but that's my hand holding it in the picture. This might have been at Borderlands in San Francisco.

It's not signed by the author since it came out after Donald Westlake's death.

But please note that this third (at least) hardcover edition claims to be the first hardcover edition.

Not only is this clearly false, who the hell cares? Is that the only selling point they could think of?
