Spine binding red and green
The spine of my copy of ATD is bound in red (or reddish) buckram. On all other copies I have seen, the spine is bound in light green. At times publishers will change the binding because of a revision in the text requiring that change. But I have, as yet, found no such revision. Unless, of course, the two states of the binding have something to do with the pervasive doubling in the novel.
