Notes:

"Second printing, September, 1922."--T.p. verso.

First edition, first printing (trade issue). Cf. Crane. "The first printing of the first edition ... comprises six different issues in three groups ... Knopf did not distinguish between printing and issue in the early printings of the novle, leading to a complication affecting the early printings of the edition. Knopf designates the two forms of the limited issue as the first printing and the various forms of the trade printing as the 'Second Printing.' This printing and subsequent printings through the 'Ninth' (November 1923) are therefore misnumbered on the imprint page: the number given is one number too high."--Link, F.M. Textual essay. (In Cather, W. One of ours (University of Nebraska Press, 2006), p. 801-832), p. 807-808.
