The Girl Who Played with Fire
Stieg Larsson · Norstedts (Stockholm) — Swedish original; MacLehose Press/Quercus (London) — first English · 2006
No book-club issue is documented in the sources consulted. Two reprint/'first thus' traps are documented instead. First, the 2010 MacLehose deluxe boxed set gathers REVISED hardback editions of the three novels with maps plus a fourth essay volume; it is its own first impression (number line to 1) but is not the first edition of this novel. Second, the mass Vintage/Knopf and Quercus paperback reissues that followed the films carry the original dates and are later issues. On the UK first, the operative reprint tell is simply the number line: a line no longer retaining the 1 is a later printing despite the 2009 date.
