8vo, first American edition, original black and red cloth lettered in silver, DUST-JACKET, slight browning, binding slightly soiled with minor wear to extremities, dust-jacket worn with tears and some loss to extremities, adhesive tape repairs to reverse
Although Wobbe notes the "first edition" of Greene's novel was published in England in July 1938 he also states that the "first American edition" was published in the United States in June 1938. If these dates are accurate, the American edition is the true first edition.
