The Sandcastle

Iris Murdoch · Chatto & Windus (London) · 1957

Book-club tell: the Reprint Society / World Books edition (London, 1959) is quarter-bound in cream with wine/maroon boards and carries a different jacket; it is frequently mis-offered as the first. Any copy in that binding, or wearing a World Books/Reprint Society jacket over Chatto sheets, is not the true first.
