The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders
Daniel Defoe (published anonymously) · Printed for, and sold by W. Chetwood, at Cato's-Head in Russel-Street, Covent-Garden; and T. Edling, at the Prince's-Arms over-against Exeter-Change in the Strand, London · 1722
Book-club editions are not applicable to a 1722 octavo. The real later-issue tells are the second and third editions of 1722, which state their edition on the title page and are correctly dated MDCCXXII; both are commonly mistaken for, or optimistically described as, the first. Moll Flanders has been continuously reprinted since: any copy in publisher's cloth, with an ISBN, or with an editor's introduction (Oxford World's Classics, Penguin, Broadview, Norton) is a modern reprint.
