Wait Until Spring, Bandini

US Stackpole Sons (1938) is the confirmed true first. The census claim of a 'UK Routledge 1939' edition could NOT be corroborated in any dealer listing, library catalog (OpenLibrary), or bibliographic source consulted; no contemporaneous British edition is confirmed (Fante's UK Bandini-novel appearances are later 20th-century reprints, e.g. Black Sparrow/Canongate). Treat Stackpole 1938 as the sole true first pending evidence of any UK issue.
