"Copyright, 1943, by T. S. Eliot."

"First collected edition of the four poems Burnt Notion, East Coker, The Dry Salvages, Little Gidding."--Cf. Gallup.

"There were two impressions of this book before publication. Only the first bears the words 'First American edition' on the verso of the title-leaf. In this first impressin, the margins of many pages were incorrect because of faulty imposition of the formes as a result of the use of unskilled war-time labour. The entire impression would have been destroyed except that it was necessary to meet the announced publication date in order to preserve copyright, and consequently 788 copies for review and other purposes were distributed before the corrected impression was ready. On 5 May 1943, the 3377 copies then remaining of the first impression were destroyed and replaced by the second impression of 3500 copies. These do not carry the edition note on the verso of the title-leaf."-- Cf. Gallup.
