Revised? From the series bibliography at SFE3 (quote two listings): • The Drought: A New Dr Palfrey Story (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1959) [Dr Palfrey: hb/]   • Dry Spell (London: New English Library, 1967) [rev vt of the above: pb/] Here "rev vt" is revised, variant title. See the main title record for more information.

  • Second Four Square printing, first edition with this title
  • Revised edition? This edition is listed as "rev vt of the above" in the series bibliography at SFE, rather than merely "vt": not only a variant title but a revised work. That is plausible but library records do not report it, and do report matching 1963 and 1967 page counts 157.
  • British Library (BL, below) gives title "[The Drought.] Dry spell." and notes "[A reissue.]", evidently in reference to the 1963 New English Library edition. In the database the latter is Four Square Books #918 (see).
  • Price from front cover, which displays also the Four Square logo and "Four Square Crime", a publication series probably.
