Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments I own a 2nd edition of this book, published in 1952, the year of its original publication.

It is published by "Jonathan Cape, Thirty Bedford Square London".

In the front pages it also says:
PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN IN THE CITY OF OXFORD
AT THE ALDEN PRESS
BOUND BY A. w. BAIN & CO. LTD., LONDON

From this I take it that Alden Press is not the book's publisher but simply its printer. I would surmise that Jonathan Cape is the publisher also of this, the 1956 edition.

Also, I find it odd that a book published in 1956 is issued with an ISBN.
