Interesting — I don’t think my copy had that.

I have the Avon paperback from 1975 and on the cover it says: The magnificent epic of an ambiguous utopia – Winner of the Nebula Award!

I don't believe this phrase was a subtitle so much as part of the cover blurb. It's not mentioned again.

Wikipedia says 'When first published, the book included the tagline: "The magnificent epic of an ambiguous utopia!" which was shortened by fans to "An ambiguous utopia" and adopted as a subtitle in certain editions', with footnotes that I haven't bothered to follow.
