All Quiet on the Western Front

German side: the title-page Tausend count is itself the reprint tell — anything above the first band is a later printing, and 1929-dated copies with counts in the hundreds of thousands are reprints, not firsts. American side: the Little, Brown first was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, so BOMC copies circulate alongside the trade issue, and a later BOMC facsimile reprint of the 1929 American edition also exists — check for club tells (blind-stamped rear board, unpriced jacket) rather than assuming the 1929 date settles the question. A 1930 "first thus" London reissue is also in the market and is not the first edition.
