The Guns of August

Barbara W. Tuchman · The Macmillan Company · 1962

The Book-of-the-Month Club edition omits the front-flap printed price, carries a blindstamped dot or indent near the spine on the rear board, and does not state 'First Printing' on the copyright page; it is also typically lighter in construction. The stated 'First Printing' plus the priced Raskin jacket identify the true first.
