Without Sorcery

Census claim confirmed. Prime Press (Philadelphia, 1948) is the true first edition — a US small-press original with no UK, foreign-language, or other predecessor, so only the US edition is collected. The signed/slipcased deluxe and the black-cloth trade issue are both first edition, differing by issue rather than by printing. One earlier Prime Press item is emphatically not this book: a promotional pamphlet printing the single story 'It' (about 200 copies, some distributed at the 1948 Worldcon) precedes the collection and is a separate item, not a state of it.
