Mary Poppins

Some Howe copies carry a wrap-around 'Junior Book Club' promotional band; this is a promotional band on the trade issue, not a book-club reprint, and its survival is a bonus rather than a demerit. A later-issue text tell that cuts across printings: the original 1934 'Bad Tuesday' chapter was rewritten by Travers in 1967 and revised again in 1981, so any copy carrying the revised chapter is post-1966 regardless of what its copyright page claims. Gerald Howe did not publish the sequel - Mary Poppins Comes Back came from Lovat Dickson in 1935 - so a 'matched set' in Howe bindings is not possible.
