Death of a Ghost

The Doubleday/Crime Club book-club tells apply to the US issue and are well documented: an unpriced front jacket flap or "Book Club Edition" printed at the flap, a blind stamp debossed into the rear board near the spine, and a five-digit code in a white block on the jacket rear. Note one specific reprint trap recorded by the Library of Congress: the American Reprint Co. issue (New York, 1976) is catalogued "c1937" and as a "Reprint of the ed. published by Doubleday, Garden City, N.Y." — its 1937 copyright line is not a first-edition date. No UK book-club issue points specific to this title are documented in the sources consulted.
