The Thinking Machine

No book-club issue is documented for the 1907 Dodd, Mead printing. Because Dodd, Mead often did not note later printings, the practical later-issue tell is the imprint itself rather than a copyright-page notice: any copy bearing a reprint publisher's name on the spine or title page is not the first, and the black cloth with red titles plus the 1907 Dodd, Mead title page should be present together. Do not rely on a bare copyright page as evidence of first-printing status for this publisher and period.
