Enough Rope

No book-club issue is documented. The dominant trap is printing, not club: Enough Rope was a genuine bestseller — thirteen printings inside about nineteen months, December 1926 to July 1928, and reported sales in the tens of thousands — so the overwhelming majority of copies dated 1926 or 1927 on the title page are later printings of the first edition, and dealers openly list sixth-printing and eleventh-printing copies. A title page dated 1926 proves nothing on its own; the copyright page decides. Later Boni & Liveright printings retain the 1926 title-page date. Modern reprints (Dover, Penguin Random House, Warbler Press) carry ISBNs and are unmistakable.
