A Princess of Mars

Reprints are the common trap and vastly outnumber the 10,200-copy first (roughly 172,700 copies across all printings). Grosset & Dunlap issued the title from 1918 into the 1940s and A. L. Burt also reprinted it. Reprint copies carry the reprint publisher's imprint at the foot of the spine and on the title page in place of McClurg, and the G&D reprints carry a reduced illustration complement (frontispiece plus four plates) rather than the five Schoonover sepia plates of the McClurg first. Any copy lacking the "Published October, 1917" / W. F. Hall Printing Company copyright page is not the first edition.
