The Fog

No book-club hardcover is documented for this title. The reprint traps are the later NEL, Hodder & Stoughton, Pan and Macmillan issues — including the 1988 NEL reissue — plus the much later Centipede Press illustrated edition, all of which are "first thus" rather than firsts. Because the 1975 hardcover run was directed at lending libraries, library-withdrawn copies are frequently offered as firsts; the library markings do not affect the edition but do not make a jacketed trade copy either.
