Dominic Winter records an early Dennis Dobson reprint of circa 1970 in original glazed colour-illustrated boards, without jacket — the most likely thing to be mis-sold as the first. The 1989 Andersen Press re-issue and its very many subsequent printings are the reprints most often mistaken for the first; they carry the redrawn illustrations, which is the quickest tell. No book-club issue of the 1968 Dobson is documented in the sources consulted.
