Census claim CONFIRMED in full. Rupert Hart-Davis, London, 1968 is the true first. The Doubleday (Garden City, New York) 1968 first American edition is not a reprint of it — L.W. Currey (ABAA/ILAB) and John W. Knott, Jr., Bookseller (ABAA/ILAB) both catalogue the Doubleday as the first US edition and both note that it adds "The White Boat," which the UK edition does not contain. Both editions are collected and both should be named: Hart-Davis is the true first; Doubleday is the first appearance of the expanded six-measure text now standard. Collectors wanting the complete text and collectors wanting the true first are therefore buying two different books — an unusually clean example of contents differing between firsts.
