The Saga of Billy the Kid

The book was the Book-of-the-Month Club selection for December 1926, and dealers do offer copies of this title explicitly as BOMC/book-club issues, so club copies circulate alongside trade firsts. However, the sources consulted document no distinct point (blindstamp, code or altered copyright page) for the 1926 club issue, so a copy should be judged on the Doubleday, Page imprint plus the copyright-page "First edition" statement rather than on club tells. General BOMC tells of the era -- a small blind stamp or dot at the lower right of the rear board, and a jacket without a price at the flap -- are indicative only and are not confirmed for this title. In practice the commonest confusions in the market are not club copies but the Grosset & Dunlap and Garden City Publishing reprints.
