Call It Sleep

No book-club issue of the 1934 Ballou printing is documented in the sources consulted. The rediscovery-era issues are the 'first thus' traps: Michael Joseph (London, 1963), the 1964 Avon paperback, and later Farrar, Straus and Giroux and Picador reissues. Because only the first two Ballou printings carry the Van Veen jacket, a Van Veen jacket alone does not establish the first printing — the Minneapolis Star blurb test does.
