I have my copy of the book of the first edition in front of me and the 
cover is yellow/pale tan.  It is copyrighted 1987 and my copy is from 
the second printing.  It was printed for the US market.  It came with no 
media; a page inside the book describes the four media distributions 
(three different floppy options and a 9-track tape option) with their 
ISBN numbers so you could order them from Prentice-Hall.

I remember seeing a red cover version of the book.  I think it was when 
I was working in Germany in 91-92, but that was too long ago for me to 
remember the details.
