No price on the book. 6d was the price for the Pocket Library series when launched in October 1935 in response to Penguin, whose books were first available in July of 1935. Given that this is 30 in the series, it's reasonable to conclude it was published ca.1936. (more accurate dating required) "58th Thousand" is an indication of copies sold since original publication. Page 11 is the first numbered page. Dustjacket missing from {{PV|BanjoKev}}'s copy.
