Notes: The second Trade printing of this title with a code of B.58.11 on the copyright page. Harcourt, Brace used a code system to mark their reprints for many years. The first digit is a letter and it notes the printing (B for 2nd, etc.) then a decimal point and two numbers for the year, and finally another decimal point and a number or numbers for the month. The binding is light blue cloth with black stamping. The dust jacket is similar to the 1st printing jacket,but the publisher's address at the bottom of the rear flap has been changed to "750 Third Ave". The rear jacket panel lists reviews for two previous series titles "Half-Magic" and "Knight's Castle". Other later reprints were marked with the above mentioned code, for many years, and the printing and date can be determined by deciphering the code. The First Edition will not have a code, but will state "first edition" and is bound in blue cloth.
