Her Body and Other Parties
Carmen Maria Machado · Graywolf Press, Minneapolis · 2017
No book-club edition is documented. The reprint tell is the number line: on later Graywolf printings the terminal "1" is dropped from "2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3 1", and the statement is amended from "First Graywolf Printing, 2017". The collection was heavily reprinted after its National Book Award shortlisting, so later printings in identical cover design are common and the copyright page is the only reliable discriminator. The Powell's Indiespensable hardcover and the Serpent's Tail UK hardback are separate issues rather than book clubs, but both are routinely miscatalogued as "first edition" hardcovers.
