Default Doomsday Book (Connie Willis), 1st Edition or BCE?

Hello Folks -
Yes, I did do a search on this newgroup for any discussions related to
this book, and I found one that mentions that the 1st Edition has a
price listed in the book, whereas the book club edition does not. And
if I go just by that, then I can say my copy is a BCE. HOWEVER, two
people also mentioned that the BCE is an inch shorter than the real
1st Edition. But I measured my book, and it is the same size as the
supposed 'real' 1st Edition. So now I'm still unsure of what I have.
Is it possible that there was yet another edition of the book printed
out there that nobody is aware of? Or, is there any other way to
confirm beyond the shadow of a doubt that the book is in fact a BCE or
not?
Of course this makes a huge difference to the value of the book, so I
want to be sure one way or the other.
Thanks a lot for any help you can give...
TIM
