Actually, a publication date of "March 2, 1997" is given on the Amazon page (in the section with ISBN and other details) - but my first printing/edition (which is single volume hardbound on very thin paper!) says printed February 1997 - as does the rather more concise description at:
http://www.powells.com/biblio?isbn=978-0201105575 I think the 2 volume "trade paperback" version must have been some time later - but neither book store seems clear... On the whole, I like book descriptions at powells.com better than amazon.com, they have less flash and are in a more consistent format.
