Harper & Row (Book Club Edition), n.d. Edition

What a true first shows: The true first edition of Little House in the Big Woods was published by Harper & Brothers in 1932 with illustrations by Helen Sewell. This copy is the later Garth Williams-illustrated uniform edition (first issued 1953), and specifically a Book Club Edition of it.
