Last and First Men: A Story of the Near and Far Future

No book-club issue of the Methuen printing is documented in the sources consulted. The reprint tells are later Methuen impressions — distinguish them by the full copyright block and by the absence of the rear catalogue dated "630" — and the many later omnibus reprints that pair the novel with Star Maker (e.g. the 1968 Dover volume), all of which carry their own imprints and dates on the title page. Do not confuse the US first's "Foreword to the American Edition" with a later-edition addition: it is original to the 1931 Cape & Harrison Smith issue.
