The Secret Garden

Stokes reprinted from the same setting for years, and Grosset & Dunlap and other reprint-house editions are common; because the first carries no printing statement, the reliable checks are the two-part Burnett/Phillips copyright notice with nothing added, and conformity to one of the two BAL binding styles. A green-cloth copy missing the pictorial onlay, the frontispiece or any of the three Kirk plates is defective rather than a distinct state, and a blue-cloth copy is correctly plateless (Style A) rather than incomplete. No book-club issue of the 1911 first is documented.
