Catalogue note
Detailed catalogue note not recoverable from the accessible source state. The record is retained without inference.
Recovery note: Date promoted from the migrated canonical edition statement: twenty-third softcover edition, November 2017. Daniel Clowes and ISBN-13 are verified against Fantagraphics. Whole-collection audit assigns 6.5: culturally canonical underlying work, but the exact TMR object is a much later softcover printing.
Legacy record ID: GN-037
Why this object matters
The twenty-third Ghost World softcover still preserves Clowes's influential account of adolescence and alienation. Its repeated printing limits bibliographic distinction, not its substantial artistic and youth-cultural research value; 6.5 understated that contribution.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
Score and assessment method
Archive Importance: 7.5 / 10.
This is a curatorial judgement, not a measurement accurate to one tenth or a market valuation. Read the explanation and its evidence limits together.
