The Little Engine That Could

Platt & Munk reprinted the Lenski book continuously to 1949 and the later states are censused (six board variants A-F, eight jacket states a-h). Reprint tells: 'TRADE MARK' added beneath the title (state E); the Never Grow Old Series list extended to include 'Lil' Hannibal' (added 1937/38); the two-line 'No. 358' cover notation reduced to a single line or dropped; and a copyright page showing both 1925 and 1930 (state F). Later jackets print copy on the flaps, list six titles rather than four on the rear panel, and add a synopsis beginning 'This little classic of childhood is one of the most popular stories ever published.' A boxed issue in blue cloth with a black cloth spine and a front-cover paste-down matching the box illustration was also produced and was issued without a jacket — a different issue, not a later state to be scored against the jacketed points. No true book-club edition is documented in the sources consulted.
