The Bridge on the Drina (Na Drini ćuprija)

No notable book-club edition drives confusion for the 1945 Serbo-Croatian first; the real traps are (1) mistaking one of the four later Yugoslav editions issued within ~four years of 1945 for the true first — check the title-page year, not just the Prosveta name; and (2) among English copies, later and much cheaper reissues, especially the University of Chicago Press paperback (Phoenix Fiction, William H. McNeill introduction) and modern Penguin/Vintage printings, which are frequently listed loosely as "first" but are not. For English first-edition purposes only the 1959 Allen & Unwin (UK) or 1959 Macmillan (US) printings qualify.
