Composite image of bookcover and dustjacket from Amazon sometime somewhere. For ASIN: B0007E6ETA (below) as of 2017-06-23: Amazon provides conflicting data at multiple websites, which variously mix the 1948 edition(s) of book 1 The Story of Doctor Dolittle and the 1948 first edition of book 10 Doctor Dolittle and the Secret Lake -- with images of book 1, same design as the composite image, either front cover alone (US) or full jacket and more (other sites).

Assembled from Wikipedia, WorldCat (OCLC, below), and a later edition: -- Lofting's publisher Frederick A. Stokes died 1939 -- Lippincott acquired his company in 1943 -- Lofting died 1947 -- Josephine Lofting renewed the 1920 copyright in 1948 (prior to this publication?)
