The Road Through the Wall

No book-club issue of the 1948 first is documented in the sources consulted. The reprint tell is the absence of the stylized FS colophon from the copyright page. Later paperback and Penguin Classics issues are reprints and are sometimes offered as 'first thus' — that phrase signals a new edition or new presentation of an old text, not a first edition, and is the common trap on this title.
