This copy
First edition

What a true first shows: The English-language translation first appeared in 1958; the Henry Regnery Company Chicago printing is the US first edition. (The UK Methuen edition, whose translation copyright is stated, is the parallel 1958 first English issue.)

Photographs show the exact copy you will receive. Every flaw we found is listed above; if we missed one, the return is on us.
