<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul W, post: 4538910, member: 77343&quot;]Yes, with the &quot;1949&quot; I too assume that is the first edition by New Directions, published in London. But I&#039;m also trying to figure out how long they were published in England before moving over to New York, and whether there is any overlap between the ones published in England and the subsequent New York printings. But maybe there&#039;s no way to know that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have just learned from the New Directions website that:</p><p>“[Identifying] First editions of early titles from New Directions require specific author bibliographies. First editions published from the late 1940s to 1969 have no additional printings listed on the copyright page. Binding variations can also be useful for first edition identification.”</p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of binding variations, here are photos of the spine and front, first the New York binding, then the 1949 London binding (which was more elaborate).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]401659[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]401660[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
