Can you provide a link as I am not seeing this?

Yes, the first edition, Harper, was 1956. Pocket Books issued a mass market paperback in their "Cardinal" imprint in 1957. My copy was reprinted in 1961, but had the same cover. I'm still seeing multiples of that when I search "Profiles in Courage".
The Inaugural Edition, 1961, I referred to was this one:

But now for some reason it shows up as an edition of the main entry. Perhaps you fixed it already, or maybe the server glitched it to a second entry (I checked twice before I reported it).

says the publication date will be Dec. 31, 2075!

with inaugural spelled inaugral.
Re the four editions that are all the Pocket "Cardinal" edition. Shall I copy the links for all of them?

Where? It might be a cashing issue.

BTW, I'm also seeing three entries of the first edition (1956, not 1955), as well as three of the memorial edition (no date given, I'm guessing it would have been 1964 or so).

Thanks, Ellie. I'll wait for an hour or so, then search the title again.

Ellie, I just searched again, and I still get four iterations of the Pocket Books Cardinal edition. These are the same book, simply reprinted over and over.

These are jut the first two: You can clearly see they are combined:

Yes, I was just looking at all editions and figured that must be what he is trying to say. It didn't occur to me.
I looked at the editions and deleted three empty editions that were obvious and merged one more. For the rest I see not reason for merging.
I own a copy of the book. The cover depicted is correct. It was first published March 1957 and was frequently reprinted.
In addition, the search for Profiles in Courage turns up a second hit, linking to the "Inaugural Edition", 1961.
