  • HathiTrust Digital Library (catalog record) lists full views of 11 copies, not examined 2017-11-07. EXCEPT that copy from U Michigan, briefly, to establish: -- it contains an original cover (gold lettering on red cloth) -- t.p. displays the title as does the UK ed., states 1917 -- t.p. verso states "Published, May, 1917."
  • None of the front pages (U Michigan copy viewed at HathiTrust) supports representation of the US title with a comma, rather than as the UK title unpunctuated, or with a colon.
