I very much admire the dedication and energy.<br /><br />I've never seen a "first printing" of the M&S <i>Tin Flute</i>... and yet the "second" is so easily found. I suspect the former doesn't exist. Could it be that the "second printing" notice refers to the Reynold & Hitchcock edition and is the result of a split run? I'm afraid I can't offer more than speculation.<br /><br />Incidentally, François Ricard's Roy biography provides an interesting summary of the arrangement reached between M&S and Reynold & Hitchcock concerning Canadian distribution.

Wo...I collect the GG English Fiction Award winners. Wonder if you know whether or not the 1947 M&S edition of The Tin Flute had 'first' printing written on the title page..or do they all state 'second printing ?<br /><br />Thanks for your help.NigelBealehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06094387597632333192noreply@blogger.com
