Star Maker

No book-club issue of the Methuen printing is documented in the sources consulted. The documented complication is issue rather than club: Methuen reissued first-impression sheets in 1938 and again during the war under jackets bearing later flap pricing, and Satty & Smith did not locate every later jacket state, so a genuine first-edition, first-impression book can legitimately sit in a demonstrably later jacket — describe book and jacket separately. Later omnibus, Dover, and paperback reprints carry their own imprints and dates.
