Ripley's Game

Later Heinemann impressions are stated as such on the copyright page. The Knopf edition went through several printings, so a Knopf copy must be checked for the unqualified "First American Edition" statement rather than accepted on the 1974 title-page date alone. No separate book-club issue of either edition is documented in the sources consulted. The principal reprint trap is the Heinemann Uniform Edition of 1989, a later reissue in Heinemann's uniform Highsmith series — a "first thus" only, despite the matching imprint.
