Odds and Ends

This page contains a mixture of relevant bits and bobs noticed and discovered while putting together the main list.

1. No Numbers
   Books published in the Leopard format but without the number – also the leopards on the cover don’t seem to have any spots – they are entirely black.
   Robert Louis Stevenson – Catriona
   

       

   
   Robert Louis Stevenson – Kidnapped
   

       

   
   Robert Louis Stevenson – Treasure Island
   

       

   Robert Louis Stevenson – The Black Arrow
   

       

   1. Leopards that changed their spots
      Books that came out with variant covers (but remained numbered Leopards)
      
      1 Giuseppe Tomasso de Lampedusa – The Leopard

          

      
      

          

      This copy is identical to the one shown in the main list, but is not numbered.

       

      2 Boris Pasternak – Doctor Zhivago
      

          

      
      
      3 Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn – The Gulag Archipelago 1918 – 56

          

      
      

          

      [This second variant is the same as the one on the main 1-25 page, but this one shows no number on the back]
      
      4 Jonathan Raban – Soft City
      

          

      
      
      16 Homer – The Odyssey

          

      
      20 Georges Perec – Life A Users Manual [this set of variants is – we think – unique in the series as the cover design remained the same but came in at least six colourways: black, red, two blues, yellow and green]

2. Nearly-Leopards
   Books that were on the list(s) but are not known to have come out in Leopard format. Some images exist on the internet of some of these in the “right” format, so we would love to hear about it if you find a real copy.
   Anna Maria Ortese – The Lament of the Linnet (listed as 241).
   Lidya Ginzburg – A Woman at her Desk (listed as 248)
   W. G. Sebald – The Rings of Saturn (listed as 249)
   Yashar Kemal – The Foundling (listed as 250)
   Mayra Montero – You, Darkness (listed as 251)
   Jean Giono – Second Harvest (listed as 263 and 264)

Let us know if you spot one! Non-Leopard Harvills exist of many of these, but that’s another matter entirely.

4. Numbers without titles

We don’t have titles that correspond to the following numbers: 

76 (there are two 77s and one of them is listed as 76 so it may be no 76 exists)
102 (there are two 93s and one of them is listed as 102 so it may be no 102 exists)
138 (there are two 146s and one of them is listed as 138 so it may be no 138 exists)
196  Vasily Grossman – Life and Fate (this is also listed as 116 and we have pictures of this title as 116 (with two different covers!) but we have not found a copy numbered 196. It may be no 196 exists. 
249 (In the list number 249 is The Rings of Saturn by W. G. Sebald but that book was not published in the Leopard format.)
