The Deputy Sheriff of Commanche County

First Edition Identifiers

This book was published by Burroughs, Inc. on Sep. 13, 1940. It is one of the few Burroughs, Inc. first editions that does not have blue cloth boards. Instead the boards are of a light gray pebbled material. The lettering on the cover and spine is red, and the words “First Edition” appear on the copyright page. Like almost all other Burroughs, Inc. publications, there is a red stain applied to the top edge of the pages. John Coleman Burroughs illustrated the dust jacket and five interior drawings.

This title was not reprinted in hardback again until 1979 by Gregg Press.
