Journey into Fear

Beware US dealers listing the Knopf 1940 simply as "First Edition" — several do, and the description is at best elliptical for first American edition; check for the unqualified "First American Edition" statement on the copyright page and the absence of a later printing line. Hodder later impressions are stated on the copyright page. No book-club issue of either 1940 edition is documented in the sources consulted.
