Knight's Gambit

Census claim CONFIRMED: the US Random House, New York, 1949 is the true first. Chatto & Windus, London, 1951 is the first English edition and is separately collected: publisher's blue cloth, gilt lettering to the spine, blue top edge, in a dust jacket by Lynton Lamb. One UK dealer records that the Chatto edition went to a second impression in May 1951 with the first impression appearing the previous month, so on a UK copy the impression statement should be checked — the 1951 date alone does not guarantee a first impression. Six Gavin Stevens stories; five had appeared in periodicals and the title story appears here for the first time.
