The Opening of the Field

No book-club edition documented. Two reprint traps: the Jonathan Cape (London) 1969 hardcover, which is a first-thus (first English edition) and is regularly mis-offered as a first edition on the strength of its hardcover binding; and the New Directions paperbook reissue (ISBN 0811204804), which is a later trade edition. Later Grove printings are identified by the printing statement on the copyright page. Grove's own dust jackets, where present on other titles, carry letter codes on the rear panel for later jacket printings — first-printing jackets lack the code.
