Chamber Music

No book-club issue is documented. The standing traps are the two 1918 American editions — the unauthorized Cornhill (Boston) and the authorized Huebsch (New York) — both routinely catalogued as 'first edition' when they are at most 'first American' or 'first thus'. Confirm the 1907 Elkin Mathews title page first, then test the state points (thick laid endpapers, signature C centring, lighter cloth) before describing a copy as first-state.
