Notes on Stone's Lust for Life The first edition of Stone's Lust for Life is in the general style of the flexible balloon cloth (#7) binding, but in the larger size of the later hardcover Blumenthal (#8) binding. The endpapers are blank, even though "Endpapers designed by Rockwell Kent" is noted on the reverse of the title page. There are at least two reports of this title with the correct first edition jacket (265 titles) in both the oversized balloon cloth format and the hard cover Blumenthal format. But the balloon cloth format came out in the Spring of 1939, while the Blumental came out in the Fall.
