Montage of a Dream Deferred
Langston Hughes · Henry Holt and Company, New York · 1951
No book-club issue is documented for this title. The operative reprint tell is the copyright page: later Holt printings drop the 'First Edition' slug. Caution — ex-library copies rebound in buckram (original cloth and jacket gone) circulate widely and retain the stated-first copyright page, so the copyright-page statement alone establishes the printing but not an original, unrestored copy; the black cloth with red spine lettering plus the Walter Miles jacket must be present.
