Murphy

No book-club edition is documented. The reprint tell is the 1942 Routledge "cheap edition" — first-edition sheets in coarse green cloth, frequently offered as a first edition, which it is, but not in the first-issue binding. A distinct "first thus" trap sits on the French side: at the end of 1953 Les Éditions de Minuit acquired roughly 2,750 unsold Bordas copies and reissued them under their own wrappers in early 1954, so a Minuit-wrappered Murphy is a re-issue of the 1947 Bordas first in French, not a new edition.
