The Empty House and Other Ghost Stories

Algernon Blackwood · Eveleigh Nash, London · 1906

No book-club issue is documented for the 1906 Nash edition. The reliable reprint tells are negative ones: absence of the Autumn 1906 rear catalogue combined with non-pictorial or rebound cloth points away from the first issue, and any copy carrying a later Nash date or a modern publisher's imprint (including the many twentieth-century and print-on-demand reissues of this public-domain text) is not the first. Copies bearing W. H. Smith circulating-library blindstamps or labels are period copies but are library issue, not a separate edition.
