And what is the print number line and where can I find it? Its a question someone on Ebay asked me about some Harry Potter books I'm selling. Its the first 4 and they look just like the versions most people have. Like the ones on Barnesandnoble.com

I'm not sure about the print number line other than a web search indicates that it will be found on the copyright page and is a series of numbers, but a book club edition will have questions in the back of the book to facilitate discussion of it at club meetings.

The printing number and other identification is on the page behind the Title page - the one with the Library of Congress cataloging info, etc.
Book club editions are commonly printed on cheaper and thicker paper than retail and may have cheaper bindings Often newly printed books, like Potter, are identical - they are cheaper for the members because the book club orders 10,000 at a time and these can be added to the print run without setup cost. Older books and reprints are often done in a uniform size matching other books of the club, not the format of the original publisher.
I can't imagine the Potter books having any particular value unless they were all premium edition, fine quality paper and bindings. There are millions out there.

book club editions are smaller. that's the only real difference I've noticed. they have all the words and the print is the same size usually.

Book club books, normally have questions in the back of the book for discussion.
