The Case of the Half-Wakened Wife
Erle Stanley Gardner · The M.S. Mill Co. · 1945
The true first appeared under the M.S. Mill imprint (a Morrow imprint), not under the Morrow name; the ESG bibliography notes it is uncertain any 1945 printing bearing the Morrow name exists, so records should cite M.S. Mill, not William Morrow, as the first-printing publisher.
