The Skin of Our Teeth

US only-first; the census claim is correct as to publisher, city and year. Harper & Brothers, New York, 1942 is the true first, and no UK edition preceding it is recorded in the sources consulted, so no UK-vs-US precedence question arises. One pre-publication artifact exists and cuts the other way as a trap: producer Michael Myerberg's mimeographed production script — 'The Skin of Our Teeth: Play in Three Acts', 1942, brad-bound mimeographed leaves printed rectos only in blue wrappers, the three acts paginated separately (39, 41 and 31 pp.), Myerberg named as publisher on front wrapper and title page. It is a theatrical working document, not a published edition, and OCLC locates only two institutional copies (NYPL and the Morgan, with further copies among Wilder's papers at Yale). It neither is the first edition nor is it a reprint of one; describe it for what it is.
