Missing Person (Rue des boutiques obscures)

No book-club edition governs this title in the way that trips up US-market collectors. The traps are Gallimard-specific: (1) later printings of the Blanche edition are near-identical to the first except for an added later achevé d'imprimer / reprint date on the justification leaf — always check that leaf; (2) the ubiquitous Collection Folio pocket paperback (Folio no. 1358, from 1982) and the later "L'Imaginaire" reissue are cheap reprints, not firsts; (3) a "service de presse" (SP) copy is a genuine first-printing press copy and is desirable, not a lesser state; (4) on the English side, the 2004 Godine "Verba Mundi" paperback is a modern reprint of the 1980 Cape translation, not a first English edition.
