Masked Gods

The dominant reprint tell is the Sage Books/Swallow Press issue bearing the same 1950 date — check the title-page imprint, because "1950" alone does not mean first. Later reissues that are "first thus" rather than firsts include Swallow Press printings (1970 and 1975), Ballantine and later University of New Mexico Press paperbacks (recorded circa 1962, 1972, 1973, 1984 and 1987), and the Swallow Press/Ohio University Press edition under ISBN 0-8040-0641-5. One dealer reports that the 300-copy limited issue was made up from original first-edition sheets recovered at the bindery after the book had been out of print for about eighteen months, but that account is single-sourced and is flagged here as unverified.
