Re: Was "Heresies" ever published in a hardback edition?

Fri. 06/11/10 17:25 EST

> Is that a "trick question"?
No, not at all. It's the only Szasz book I've never seen
in hardcover, but that doesn't prove non-existence, so I
thought I'd just ask some afficionados.

>I have a paperback copy.
Yeah, me too. Price on the front cover: $2.95
From the copyright page:
Anchor Books Edition: 1976
First Edition
ISBN: 0-385-11162-2
LCCCN: 75-30131
From the back cover:
"A Doubleday Anchor Original"

I also have The Second Sin in softcover, and it's
identical in size/shape to Heresies, but some copyright
page differences:
THE SECOND SIN was originally published in a hardcover
edition by Anchor Press/doubleday & Company, Inc. in 1973
Anchor Books edition: 1974
Copyright © 1973 by Thomas S. Szasz

and back cover differences:
"A doubleday Anchor Book" (note the replacement of
"Original" with "Book")

suggest that Heresies was only ever published in softcover.
