Thread Name: What should 1st number for Butterfield 8 be? From: kamins at ModernLib.com (Scot Kamins) Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2014 14:40:37 -0700 Collector Craig Stoyle notes the following: O'Hara - BUtterfield 8. Your info states: "Butterfield 8 first appeared in the regular Modern Library series in the fall of 1962," and, "Butterfield 8 has a Modern Library number of 323, a number not assigned to any issue until 1962. The title appears in no Modern Library catalog or list of active titles previous to fall of 1962," and "Dates in print: 1962 [Fall] - 1970," but also states "First inverse DJ number: 403," which is fall, 1961. Butterfield is one of the unstated firsts. Toledano also lists it as 1962. My copy has fall 1961 catalogs back of book & verso of jacket (Mailer, not Hersey). Appears first should be 1961. Something is off, I guess. Who has an early BUtterfield 8? What's your inverse DJ number?

The list of titles at the end of the volume and inside the jacket are fall 1961 lists.?? Butterfield 8 ?was listed in P ublishers Weekly's ? "Weekly Record" of newly published books? in the issue of January 1, 1962.
