First Edition, First Printing Verification Points for Collectors:
This copy contains all the key identifying markers of a true first edition, first printing:
Copyright Page: The copyright page lists a single date of “1965” with no other dates or printings noted, a crucial first edition point for this title.3
Dust Jacket Price: The original dust jacket’s front flap displays the correct first printing price of “195/195” in the top right corner.4
Dust Jacket Back Panel: The rear of the dust jacket features three panels listing other Beginner Books titles.5 The final title listed is “LITTLE BLACK GOES TO THE CIRCUS.”6 This is the key distinguishing point from later printings and the “Fox in Sox” second state.
Book Boards: The book’s boards are the correct pictorial design consistent with the first edition.
