Precedence: Paris Olympia Press 1958 (as Maxwell Kenton) is the true first. The first American edition is G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1964, under the authors' real names — a 'first thus,' bound in three-quarter purple cloth over black paper boards with red endpapers and red top-stain, no printing statement on the copyright page; first-state jacket points are the James Jones blurb (not Nelson Algren) on the rear panel and the code '0464' at the foot of the front flap. Both the Paris true first and the Putnam first American are collected; do not let the Putnam 'first American edition' slug pass as the true first.
