Comments: From the intro: "First published in the summer of 1942 and the first edition may be identified by the cover - purple ink on green cover stock. About two years later the book was again printed from the original plates but this time the cover was in red ink on grey cover stock. These two printings were illustrated by photographs, made by Ralph Cote. The original photographs were lost and the print-plates were destroyed. For clarity of reproduction new line drawing ware made for this edition by Dr. Eugene Gloye."
