George Oppen · The Objectivist Press, New York · 1934
No book-club issue. The standing first-thus trap is the Cleveland Mother/Asphodel reissue of 1966 — plain white wrappers with a printed dust wrapper, cover design by Leni (Magdalene Arndt) Sinclair, 36–38 pp — which states that it is 'reprinted photographically from the 1934 edition.' Because it reproduces the 1934 text and title-page it is regularly miscatalogued as the first; the binding settles it (white wrappers, not green cloth with spine label). At least one general reference conflates the 1966 wrappers with the 1934 original.
