The Woman in Black

No book-club edition of the 1983 Hamish Hamilton first is documented in the sources consulted. The dominant trap is sheer volume of later printings: the long-running stage adaptation and the 2012 film drove very heavy reissue under Hamish Hamilton, Vintage and Penguin imprints, and these later-dated paperbacks and tie-ins are what a donor almost always has. The second trap is the 1986 Godine being offered as 'first edition' on the strength of its 'First American Edition' statement. Green cloth plus a Lawrence-illustrated jacket plus a 1983 Hamish Hamilton copyright page with no later impression number is the combination to look for.
