Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Cambrioleur

No book-club issue applies to the 1907 Lafitte publication. Reprint/later-issue tells: Lafitte reprinted the title heavily and the wrapper edition mentions cannot be used to date a copy; work instead from the cream laid (vergé) paper, the Goussé brick-red wrapper, and the publisher's advertisements at the rear — the rear wrapper of the early state heads "Les aventures extraordinaires d'Arsène Lupin" with a short list of titles, and later reprints list further Leblanc titles published after 1907, so an advertisement list containing later titles rules out an early copy. From 1914 the text also appeared in fascicules, and after November 1916 these were folded into a new collection whose name appears on post-war reprints.
