Since 1940 generally says "First Edition" or "First Printing", but check
your Ahearns' if you have one. They have a listing by publisher at the
front of their book.

A few weeks ago I picked up a nice copy of Helen MacInnes "Above
Suspicion"
at a flea market for $2. Recently I learned that it was her first book and
looking at it more closely I am wondering if it is a First American
Edition.
Little, Brown and Company, Boston, 1942 on title page. Copyright 1941 ,
Helen Highet and date code CL on copyright page. Dustjacket has a great
photo of MacInnes on back and beveled corners. Any information would be
appreciated.
