I picked up a nice cache of ML's this weekend, including a copy of the above referenced book. As I inventoried the book and compared it to my collection copy, I noticed a slight difference in the jacket. The copy pictured on Scott's site has the statement "Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950" at the bottom of the jacket. The copy I just bought has it at the top. I sent Scott a scan today.

Looking further, I discovered my new copy, with an initial price of $2.45, has no lists at the end of the book. My two other copies have lists at the end with G95 being the highest, dating it to fall 1966. I recollect some commentary regarding all books after a certain date containing lists at the end of the book. Is it possible my new copy is the true first, and my other two copies are reprints? Or the reverse? Mr. Neavill, thoughts, please.

The copy that I have is in the type k dust jacket which would place it in 1966, price clipped,with the Nobel wording at the bottom. The book is however, spine 13 with plain endpapers.
