Lud-in-the-Mist

UK first — the census claim is confirmed. W. Collins Sons & Co., London, 1926 precedes the first American edition, Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1927. Both are collected and a full description should name both. The Knopf first US collates octavo, pp. [1-2] [1-10] 11-313 [314: blank] [315: 'a note on the type'] [316-318: blank], with a final blank leaf, and is bound in decorated boards with a green cloth shelf back and a printed paper label affixed to the spine panel, fore and bottom edges rough-trimmed, decorated endpapers, in a pictorial jacket.
