Jill
Philip Larkin · The Fortune Press (London) · 1946
No book-club issue is documented for the 1946 Fortune Press printing; the press printed in small quantities and issued nothing through the clubs. The reprint tells that matter are imprint-based rather than blind-stamp based: any copy naming Faber & Faber (or a later publisher) on the title page is a reprint, and any copy containing Larkin's Introduction is 1964 or later, since that text is absent from the 1946 first. Because the Fortune Press cloth varies so widely, do not treat an unfamiliar binding as evidence of a reprint — check the imprint and the absence of the Introduction instead.
