I have read every other description listed here and cannot find a clear consensus about which combination of ads and listed titles indicate the first copies off the presses. I got this one for a good price, so I'm going to insert it here at the cheaper end of the long list, despite the fact that.
Published by NY: Thomas Y. First printing. Original light olive green cloth binding stamped in gilt; decorative floral motif endpapers. No listing of additional titles opposite title page. The Crowell edition had three variant cloth bindings: olive green, brown and dark blue, the priority of which has not been established.
Some printings had plain endpapers and some with a floral motif and it is assumed that the latter is the first issue. The same holds for the presence or lack of the additional titles opposite the title page: those copies without the titles would logically seem to be first issue.

Hinges lovely but for one tiny hole to middle of front hinge. Some minor foxing to front page edges. New York, A first American edition, later issue, in green cloth. A solid very good copy: binding is tight, cloth is fairly clean, gilt lettering and Romanov symbol of the front cover is bright and unfaded, the spine a little less so. Top edge gilt.

Nice looking copy. Published by Crowell, First edition in English of one of the greatest novels of all time.

An absolutely incisive masterwork that was immediately identified as such by his also great contemporaries. First American edition, likely first issue titles. No other titles listed opposite monogrammed title page.
