St Lucia, University of Queensland Press Celebratory Edition - hard cover in dust jacket This celebratory edition produced to commemorate Peter Carey winning the '2001 Booker Prize' appears to have been printed by mid-November 2001 and limited quantities were distributed to bookshops in that period. The quantity involved would be CONSIDERABLY LESS than the original Limited Edition hard cover. In all appearances it looks like the Limited Edition hard cover but with several differences - different ISBN, glassine dust jacket with additional wording ""Booker Prize Winner 2001"".
