Still Alice

The print-on-demand original has no book-club issue and no reprint state to distinguish — later iUniverse copies are indistinguishable from early ones. That is the central trap on this title: an iUniverse copy proves the edition but cannot prove an early strike, and no one can honestly claim otherwise. For the 2009 trade hardcover, the tells are the ordinary ones — a number line lacking the 1 marks a later printing — and the 2015 film-tie-in and subsequent Gallery/Pocket paperback reissues are "first thus" only.
