Swann's Way

No book-club issue is documented. The signature trap here runs backwards from the usual rule: after the first impression sold through, Grasset overprinted remaining first-printing stock with fictitious edition statements — covers reading '2e édition' or '3e édition' (a third-edition mention appears on covers dated 1913 in Roman numerals) — as a sales device. A false edition statement on the wrapper does NOT demote a copy; judge by the title-page Grasset flaw, the absence of a table of contents, and the achevé d'imprimer on the verso of page 523. Conversely, a corrected title page plus a table of contents identifies the second printing regardless of what the wrapper claims.
