"Issued in 1958 in microfilm form as thesis, Columbia University, under title: H. Rider Haggard, his life and works." --noted in some library records, both UK and US editions

The 1968 Macmillan ed. is a stated 2nd edition. It may contain an updated bibliography, for instance. Library records identify no substantial change, however (cf. {{OCLC|877522035}}, {{OCLC|462472}}).

  • 1st US ed.
  • "Information from review in Amra V2n28, June 1964." Evidently that original source reported the title H. Rider Haggard: His Life and Works.
  • Newspaper reviews late March and early April 1961 (4) all report price $6.00 and title without leading 'H'. They establish Winter/Spring publication, given the absence of earlier notice. (No advertisement found 2010-10-06 in US newspapers.)
  • Library of Congress (LCCN, below): -- reports "Walker [1961, c1960]" (that is, year inferred or investigated, not stated) -- notes "Issued in 1958 in microfilm form as thesis, Columbia University, under title: H. Rider Haggard, his life and works."
