Two Sought Adventure

Census claim confirmed. Gnome Press (New York, 1957) is the true first edition — a US small-press original with no UK predecessor and no foreign-language original, so only the US edition is collected. FIRST-THUS TRAP: the collection was reissued and expanded by Ace Books in 1970 as 'Swords Against Death', dropping the 'Induction' section (that material was reused in the companion volume 'Swords and Deviltry'). The Ace book is a later, differently-constituted text, not an edition of this book, and must never be catalogued as a first of it.
