Traps and later printings: Any copy whose title page adds a screen treatment credit to Kevin McClory and others is a later printing. The First Edition Library facsimile set copies the bindings, text and jackets; modern facsimile jackets are also often put on genuine books. Check that the jacket is unclipped and belongs to the impression.
