The Counterfeiters (Les Faux-monnayeurs)

No prominent U.S. book-club (BOMC-type) edition is a common trap for this title; the practical hazards are different. Beware the many later NRF/Gallimard reprints from the same setting that lack a printing statement or carry a later achevé d'imprimer — these are routinely mis-listed as 1925 first editions. Do not confuse the ordinary 1925 wrappered issue with the 121 réimposé grand-papier copies (taller in-4 tellière on Lafuma-Navarre). On the English side, later Knopf printings and the Modern Library issue (also dated 1931), plus Vintage/Penguin reprints of the Bussy translation, are frequently offered as firsts — only the 1927 Knopf stating "First American Edition" qualifies.
