Unsigned/Unnumbered Hardcovers of Usagi?

I saw (and picked up) a HC copy of Vol. 18. It's nice but I didn't know there were unsigned/unnumbered HC versions. Is this a bootleg? I was a bit surprised.

Did the book have a dust jacket?

If not, and the cover featured the same art as the trade paperback, it might be one of the library bound editions.

No dust jacket. I didn't realize that there were any different versions for the library actually since my library has the paperbacks. It's a great middle inbetween the paperback editions and the special "high art" editions that I hate to even touch cause they are so nice.

It is a wonderful middle ground. I'm currently trying to collect them all in the library editions, but can't seem to find a few. (3, 10, and 11) You can get many of them on Amazon for about $25. Anyone know anyplace else to get these? I'd love to complete my collection.

This is everything I could find out about the library editions a year or two ago. There were a few differant "publishers" releasing them over the years, and some of the books just didn't seem to have a library edition version. There could posible be more available since I originally made this list.
