Not sure if this is the right thread.. those who were lucky enough to snag the clear vinyl of this, what indicators to it? I.e. if I were to buy a sealed version, how would you know it’s clear 

I have both so I can describe the difference:

The cream one has its own jacket with a unique barcode number printed directly on its back cover, and its specific catalogue number on the spine.

The clear one, however, was packaged in the same jacket as the regular black one. So the barcode on the back and catalogue number on the spine are actually for the black. When the clear vinyl was sealed, they put sticker barcodes on top of the shrinkwrap directly over what would now be the wrong barcode. The shrinkwrap is also printed with "Made in Canada"

So a sealed clear vinyl should:

1) have a sticker placed on the shrinkwrap for the barcode (602507429812). If the correct number is on the jacket itself, then the vinyl is cream

2) have Made in Canada printed on the shrinkwrap

3) have the same catalogue number as the black variant on the spine

4) match the back cover of the black vinyl (notice the cream jacket has three lines of the text at the bottom, but the clear one has two lines)

^The barcode underneath is really for the black version

Perfect! Thankyou for your help!

The Mongolian book cover ate, it's just so beautiful, reminds me of Honeymoon era tiny little bit! 

Here are all the versions, from Lana's merch fanpage! https://www.instagram.com/lanadelreymerch/guide/violet-bent-backwards-over-the-grass-poetry-book/17909155943352868/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

I rly wish this link worked for me 😭
 

 

edit as an avid goodreads user I have obviously figured out how to find the ISBN for most… but I can’t find the Mongolian one anywhere

The ISBN for it is 978-9991-98-643-8 but unfortunately it doesn't seem at all possible to buy it unless someone in Mongolia sends it to you. I contacted several bookstores in Mongolia that have it for sale online and none of them will ship internationally
