Look, Stranger!

W. H. Auden · Faber & Faber, London · 1936

No book-club issue is documented for either the Faber or the Random House edition. The reprint tells are the Faber impressions (second British impression December 1936, and later impressions, each so stated on the verso) and the modern Faber reprint of 2001, which carries the Look, Stranger! title and can mislead on a spine glance. The other standing trap is cataloguing confusion in the other direction: because the American title is On This Island, dealer records and library catalogues file the same work under both titles, and On This Island (Random House 1937) is regularly offered as though it were the first edition of the collection when it is the first American edition.
