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.
