(0 reviews)
One of several unauthorized printings of the 7th ed. Cf. Mason, S. Wilde, p. 423-424 and 531-532.
In one printing, the author's name is absent from the spine and the type used for the "3" in "C.3.3" on the t.p. is rounded, with the base of the "3" level with the base of the "C". In another printing, a different type is used throughout, the author's name appears on the spine and the type used for the "3" on the t.p. is elongated with its base extending below the base of the "C."
HRC has copies of both printings described.
