As of 2016-12-30, Amazon does use the abbreviation "Dr." and show an image of the same book cover (no jacket); it does not give a page count. Several WorldCat library records of Lippincott copies dated 1953 (some "(c)1953") report xi+338 pages (one xi+328, one 338). Only the one record linked above reports 249 pages and it states "(c)1953".
