Widowers' Houses
George Bernard Shaw · Henry & Co. (London) · 1893
When Henry & Co. went out of business in December 1897 they turned over roughly 194 unbound sets of first-edition sheets to Shaw, who arranged independently to have them bound (reportedly via Sotheran & Co., in purple cloth); these are the same 1893 setting of type in a different binding, not a later reprint, so a cloth binding that doesn't match the standard trade cloth does not by itself indicate a later edition.
