First Edition Identifiers
This copyright page shows that A.C. McClurg published “The Mad King” in August 1926, however it was not publicly released for sale until Sep. 18, 1926. The first edition has blue cloth boards like the previous four books, but with orange lettering instead of black. There were 5,000 copies printed.
There are two states of the first edition. The first state has three errors in the text: page 12 states “Chapter I” twice, page 21 errors in punctuation, and on page 92 certain words are incorrectly repeated. The second state corrects these errors by tipping in a corrected page 92.
The book below is of the second state as page 92 has been tipped in.
