	When a hardcover book is offered by one of the many book clubs, the
format is changed in minor, but recognisable, ways. On one of the title
pages it may say 'book club edition,' or somesuch. Now please don't ask me
why such a volume is not as valuable to a used book dealer, but they are.
I've done much the same thing as you -- taken a crate of books to several
used book dealers, only to be told that most of them were book club
editions
and as such were worthless. Go figure..
