Title: Inside U.S.A. (First UK edition-1947)
Description: GC plus. Hamish Hamilton, 1947. First UK edition. Printed in USA. Please note: The copyright page is undated as some copies were printed in USA (see below book description), folded chat dates are prior 1947 and USA map inside the back cover states copyright, 1945. Black hardback (gilt lettering to the spine although spine is faded, small marks on the front and back covers, small dents, nicks and scratch on the edges of the cover and spine) in GC plus, no Dj cover. Illustrated with colour map inside the front cover, b/w maps. Nice and clean pages with some ink marks and slightly tainted on the outer edges, a couple of ink marks and small creases on the edges of the pages. The book is in GC for its age with some shelf wear. 979pp including folded Inside U. S. A. chart, foreword, list of names, bibliography, index. A collectable first edition but without the Dj cover. Inside U. S. A. grew much longer than originally planned, which presented a problem because paper was in short supply in the postwar period. When published in May 1946, it totaled 979 pages. The first U. S. printing run was more than 500, 000 copies, including 35, 000 copies for the book's British publishing house, Hamish Hamilton, which was unable to obtain enough paper to print the book in England. Good/No Dj Cover.
