1938 Doubleday, Doran Edition

What a true first shows: The true first edition is Victor Gollancz, London, 1938. The first American edition is Doubleday, Doran & Company, New York, 1938. This copy is the American issue; its all-edges-gilt page block and decorative pictorial belly band are features of a later/gift issue rather than the plain trade first.

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