THIS IS VERY LIKELY A FIRST EDITION COPY, based upon the following internal information:

(1)  The inside front flyleaf lists both DEANNA DURBIN titles (but no other 1941 titles), plus other previously released Whitman titles.

(2)  The inside rear flyleaf lists both RED RYDER titles from 1941 (but no other 1941 titles), plus other previously released Whitman titles.

(3)  The titles listed on the rear of the dust jacket list only the two DEANNA DURBIN titles (but no other 1941 titles), plus other previously listed titles.

(4)  The design of the book cover is threaded cloth, rather than the pebbled cloth that Whitman began using after 1941.

(5)  There are no book titles listed after the conclusion of the book on page 220.

Shipping charges include postage (including USPS Tracking on domestic shipments), packaging materials, labor and fuel (the nearest post office is 14 MILES away!); but I do combine shipping charges on multiple items -- so fill up that cart NOW an' save some $$$!
