- HathiTrust Digital Library (record 007647556) provides full view of 3 copies with original cover (gold stamped lettering on red cloth). They appear to be identical except: • U California Santa Barbara copy front cover appears dark brown • Harvard U copy lacks stamped printer statement, t.p. verso Thus the printed interiors appear to be identical. The stamped printer statement (t.p. verso, UC Irvine copy) is partly represented in the publisher line of WorldCat library record OCLC 6837875.
