This is in regard not to the ISBN shown above, but to the 1935 Charles Scribner's Sons edition, found at:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I am reading this edition now and it is 912 pages.

The only number on the publisher's page is K-12.60 [H].

It does not appear to be a first edition, or a first publication, at least, of the first edition, since the back of the dust jacket excerpts from Wolfe's "The Story of a Novel," calling it "a short work published one year after the publication of Of Time and the River."

Thanks.

Many thanks! Eight printings, imagine. And today it's all but a lost book. Of course, it was the The Depression, may be small runs. The book sold for $6.00, no small sum then.
