Details

The original edition was not printed on large paper without an edition note. This first edition of The Stranger was printed on April 21, 1942, and was printed in a run of 4,400 copies, divided into eight fictitious "editions" of 550 copies. Thus, most copies bear a false mention of the second to eighth edition on the back cover. Paper was scarce in 1942, and since Albert Camus was then an unknown author, Gallimard did not print luxury paper. Copies without an edition note are particularly sought after.
