A Little Princess

Scribner printed from the same plates for decades and the copyright page never changed, so a copy offered as a '1905 first' on the strength of the 'Published September, 1905' line alone is unverified - the 1917 Scribner reprint examined for this entry is identical there. Check the title-page imprint year. Later Grosset & Dunlap reprints and the 1963 J. B. Lippincott Tasha Tudor edition are separate editions rather than printings of the first and are frequently miscatalogued. A first must retain the colour frontispiece and all eleven Betts plates; no book-club issue of the 1905 first is documented.
