The Sheep-Pig

On the Crown 'Babe: The Gallant Pig', Crown had adopted a first-edition statement plus a number row by this date; a first printing shows 'First American Edition' with a complete number line including 1. Crown did not reliably remove that statement on reprints — copies are recorded stating 'First American Edition' with a full 10-to-1 number line but 'Second Printing' added beneath, and others carrying a broken later line (e.g. 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2). Read the number line and any printing statement, never the edition statement alone. No book-club issue of the Gollancz is documented in the sources consulted; reprints and tie-in printings following the 1995 film are the common trap.
