Intruder in the Dust

No specific book-club issue of Intruder in the Dust was documented in the sources consulted; the stated "First Printing" is the decisive test and no later printing carries it. Book-club copies of this period are conventionally identified by a blind-stamped indent on the rear board and a jacket with no price at the flap, but that is a general-practice screen here rather than a documented point for this title. The 1949 MGM film tie-in printings and later Random House printings are the routine confusions.
