Henry Sturcke | 456 comments There are two pages of listings for this title, but only one has the same cover image as the one I own: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2.... This unfortunately has no details, but I can provide them. It was the first paperback edition, 1972. It carried ISBN 0-684-16940-1, and has 268 pages. The series is The Scribner Library of Contemporary Classics.
The only information listed with this title appears to be incorrect: first published January 1, 1966. My understanding is that Scribner first issued this title both in hb and pb in 1972. That's also the copyright date in my copy.
I see that a couple of people have shelved this and reviewed it. That may mean you can't add these details to it. If so, can you create a new instance with the same cover and the details I have provided, or should I do it?

David Raz (davidraz) | 13388 comments The only problem with adding this information is that scribner reused this ISBN in 1981 and we already have that edition: The Nick Adams Stories. I added your details to the edition and marked it as an alternate cover for that ISBN.
The matching ISBN13 was on another edition, I'll need to handle that too.
