We the Living

No dedicated book-club issue is documented. Macmillan destroyed the plates before the 3,000-copy first printing sold out, which limits US reprint traps from the original setting. The live traps are instead: (1) later Cassell London printings — Cassell went to at least seven printings into the mid-1940s, and only the January 1937 printing is the UK first; (2) the revised 1959 Random House edition and its many descendants, which carry the altered text and are routinely miscatalogued; and (3) jacketed copies, where the scarcity of the original jacket makes supplied and facsimile jackets a real hazard — facsimile jackets for this title are commercially produced and sold openly.
