The Book Thief

A Knopf book-club edition of the 2006 US issue exists and is an early reprint, not a first: expect the usual BCE tells for the period — no price on the jacket flap, a blind-stamp or small mark at the lower rear board, smaller trim and lighter bulk than the trade issue, and no number line. No title-specific BCE point beyond these generic tells is documented. Later Knopf and Definitions printings carrying "originally published in Australia by Picador in 2005" are reprints, not the Australian first.
