Other Trade Edition First Printing Traits: 
- Matte cover finish 
- Plain white endpapers (see exception below) 
- Back cover lists to "The Mystery of the Invisible Dog"

Notes: 
1.) This was the last title to be issued with the matte covers.
2.) Plain white endpapers were standard starting with this book.  However, there are a few known examples of this title that have the blue graveyard endpapers.  This is apparently the result of the manufacturer using up leftover materials. 
 

- As shown to the left, later printings of the GLB Edition used Robert Adragna's cover art.  These are quite difficult to find.
