The Man of Property (first volume of The Forsyte Saga)

Beware later Heinemann reprints in similar green cloth that lack the page-200 broken-music point — always physically verify page 200. The Forsyte Saga was hugely reprinted, so the market is flooded with later omnibus editions (the single-volume 1922 collected The Forsyte Saga and countless Heinemann, Scribner's, and Grosset & Dunlap reprints) frequently mislabeled "first edition"; none of these are the 1906 first of The Man of Property. Contrary to a common assumption, there ARE fine-press/book-club editions that trap the unwary: a Heritage Press edition (New York, 1964, illustrated by Charles Mozley, introduction by Evelyn Waugh) and a companion Limited Editions Club issue (1964, signed by Mozley, limited to 1,500) are routinely catalogued as "First Edition thus" and are sometimes mislabeled "First Edition; First Printing" by sellers — they are reprints, not the 1906 first. Confirm the standalone 1906 Heinemann title page and the page-200 point before accepting any copy as the first.
