The Tennis Court Oath
John Ashbery · Wesleyan University Press, Middletown, Connecticut · 1962
No book-club edition documented. Wesleyan noted subsequent printings on the copyright page, so later printings are identified by a printing statement replacing or supplementing the first-edition designation — a catalogued 1968 third printing in the same grey cloth circulates and is regularly mistaken for the first. Because the cloth binding was continued unchanged across printings, binding alone will not distinguish a first; the copyright page must be checked.
