The Girl from Hollywood

First Edition Identifiers

This particular title was printed 8 times with minor changes by Macaulay from 1923 to 1925. All the editions are bound in RED cloth although the textures differ. The first 5 printings have green lettering on the cover and spine whereas the last 3 printings have black lettering on the cover and spine. The first two printings were bound in cloth which has a horizontal line texture.

The only difference between the 1st and 2nd printing is the caption under the frontispiece illustration which reads in part as — “Only a camera man and myself are here,” he said —. One printing includes “he said” and the other omits it. However there is not a firm consensus as to which of these two printings is the true first edition.
