The White Peacock

No book-club issue is documented for either 1911 edition. On the Heinemann there were two binding orders of 750 copies each, and both contain the first printed sheets: the first binding has the Heinemann windmill device blind-stamped at the centre of the back cover, the second lacks it. That is a binding variation, not a textual issue — a copy without the blind stamp is still first-edition sheets and should not be downgraded. One caution: dealers' use of 'first issue' for the 1910 copyright notice implies a later Duffield state bearing a 1911 notice, but McDonald's collation records only the 1910 notice; treat any claim of a '1911 copyright' Duffield state as unconfirmed until it is collated against a bibliography.
