Water for Elephants
Sara Gruen · Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill (Chapel Hill, NC) · 2006
No book-club edition of this title surfaced in the dealer census consulted. In practice the reprint tells are on the copyright page itself: absence of the "First Edition" statement and/or a number line whose lowest surviving digit is above 1. Remainder marks appear on later Algonquin printings. Standard book-club tells would apply if a club issue is encountered — absent price at the jacket flap, a blind stamp or small dot impressed in the rear board near the spine, and thinner bulk.
