Coming of Age in Samoa

No book-club edition of the 1928 Morrow issue is documented, but the cheap-reprint traps are heavy and are routinely mistaken for the first because they retain a 1928 copyright line. Blue Ribbon Books, New York, reprinted it from about 1932 (also 1936); the Modern Library issued it in 1953; there are American Museum of Natural History members' issues and an International Collectors Library edition; and the Mentor/Signet and Dell/Laurel paperbacks follow. Any copy naming Blue Ribbon Books, Modern Library, Mentor, New American Library or Peter Smith on the title page or spine is a reprint.
