===== Ron Cohen writes: A minor point, but your bibliographical reference to The Island Race that is incorrect. That derivative work is Cohen A275. As to the substance of your query, let me begin by saying that the Dodd Mead publication was only an issue of the British sheets. The British first edition by Jarrold & Sons, Norwich, was published on November 23, 1964. Nothing was re-set. Therefore, the 1964 Dodd Mead appearance (Cohen A275.2) is technically only the "American issue of British sheets" and that appearance reflects the erroneous column transposition of the first state of the first printing of the first (British) edition by Jarrold (Cohen A275.1.a). I have described the erroneous transposition in the Bibliography in the following way: "In first state copies, the columns on p. 75 are reversed; the text of column 1, which begins “follow me to the fields outside” should follow the first word in that sentence, “Only”, which is the final word in column 2 on the mis-set page. The text at the top of column 2 is taken from p. 292.21-3 of Volume I [of the History of the English- speaking Peoples]; the remaining highly-edited text on p. 75 is taken from p. 293.1 to p. 296.28." There was, in Britain, a second state of the first printing of the first edition in, as would be expected, 1964 (Cohen A275.1.b). In it, of course, the error in the setting of the columns was corrected.There were also second and third printings in 1964 and 1966 respectively. To return to the derivative Dodd Mead story, there was a second American issue photo-reproduced from the second state of the British edition and printed and bound in Italy by by Grafiche Editoriali Padane (Cohen A275.3). Since it was photo-reproduced from the second state, the columns are correctly transposed. No year of publication is provided on that issue. There have been numerous re-issues of the work in the United Kingdom since the 1960s, done variously in one, two or three volumes by the Reprint Society, the Swedish American Line, Cassell, Corgi Books, Webb & Bower, and the Readers Digest Association. In the United States, the only re-appearance was a paperback issue by Dodd Mead in February 1969.
