Quoting Skip Tavakkolian 9...@9netics.com: at one point there was a web page with images of many (maybe all) KR C covers from various prints and translations. i think it was a page that dmr had created (or perhaps bwk, i can't remember exactly). i can't seem to find it now. This list gets downright goddamn surreal at times. khm

As the subject line says, wildly off-topic. But some-one here might know the answer, and it’s been bothering me. Such are my failings, I’ve been watching the second series of “Halt and Catch Fire” in order to catch up with what the kids are up to these days. In the second episode one of the characters opens what looks like a copy of KR first edition, but the cover is blue. I thought that the colour correction on my TV might be deceiving me, or possibly the vertical hold was on the fritz, but he did it again in the third episode, and the cover was still blue. So my question is, did there ever exist an edition of KR in that colour scheme, or is gcc to blame for the inaccuracy?

Re: [9fans] Wildly off-topic
Thanks, but it seems as if that web page is for the 2nd edition. I have two copies of this, one of which is much thicker than the other, despite having the same number of pages, but that’s a different wildly off-topic topic. I used to have a copy of the 1st edition, and I’m sure that the background colour was white. Did there ever exist a version with a blue cover? Also, I think that “It’s a fair cop, but gcc is to blame” should be an adequate defence in any court of law.

Re: [9fans] Wildly off-topic
ISTR the first edition cover was green on white, but that could have been a reprint (or a faulty memory).
