The Faber second edition of 1950, which adds Eliot's preface, is the principal 'first thus' trap — the presence of the Eliot preface in a Faber copy proves it is NOT the 1936 first. Also 'first thus': the Dalkey Archive Press edition restoring Barnes's fuller pre-Eliot text with apparatus by Cheryl J. Plumb, and the New Directions American reprints. No book-club issue of the Faber 1936 is documented in the sources consulted.
