The true first is the wrappered Gold Medal printing; there is no printed number line, so identify it by the d1861 designation, the priced first-printing cover, and the absence of any later-printing or reissue statement.

## Is this the true first?
Paperback original; true first. No prior hardcover edition. The Gold Medal wrappered first (d1861) precedes all later paperback reissues and the later hardcover reprints.
