Early editions of the Sorcery! series

[misomiso]

I'm very confused about the early editions of the Sorcery! series. 

The first few books seemed to be 'wrap around' cover edition with the number emblazened in the top right corner. 

However I can't seem to find copies of these for book 3 and 4 of the series. 

Instead it seems to be implied that the 'Red zig zag' editions were the first printed for books 3 and 4.  Is this true? 

Many thanks for any information.

Yes, though apparently not in the USA. You should be able to find all the information you need on this topic at the FF wiki.

Ah that's very interesting! Out of interest do we know what which was published first, the UK zigzag editions or the US editions (for 3 and 4).
The US editions are very rare I think.

Just an educated guess but I'm assuming the uk versions were published first followed by the usa versions.

Or maybe both were published simultaneously ?

I must confess I had no idea the wrap-around covers even existed until recent years.
