The Bald Soprano (La Cantatrice chauve)

No book-club issue is documented. The tells are all 'first thus' rather than club reprints, and they are the reason this title is so often misdescribed: any copy lacking the Arcanes justification/numbering is not the original; Gallimard's Theatre I (1954) and its very many later printings, the Folio reissues, the Massin illustrated edition (1964), and the Grove and Calder translations are every one of them subsequent. A copy whose title page reads 'Gallimard' is by that fact not the first edition, whatever its date.
