The Sheltering Sky

Paul Bowles · John Lehmann, London (true first); New Directions, New York (first American) · 1949

No book-club edition documented for either the Lehmann or the New Directions issue in the sources consulted. The reprint tell for the American edition is added printing history on the copyright page; for the London edition it is a stated second or third impression. Supplied facsimile jackets are the more common trap for both.
