Boston and New York. Houghton Mifflin Company. 1934. First American Edition. Octavo (8 x 5 1/2). [8], [1-2] 3-213 [214-216] pp. Illustrated by Kurt Wiese. Ki-yu's text is identical to the text published in the 1934 first edition titled Panther by Jonathan Cape, London, with the exception of a Preface written by Haig-Brown for Panther that wasn't published in Ki-yu. The Preface penned by Haig-Brown was in response to a critic's charge in the U.K. who thought there was too much violence and therefore the book unfit for a younger audience. Ki-yu was published a week later than Panther and the Life of Editions Record at Harold Ober Associates shows there were 1,605 copies sold, with the book going out of print in 1950. The book is bound in an early binding state of beige cloth with orange titles on the spine and front cover and with Ki-yu's image in orange and black on the front cover. Orange end papers. There is a small marginal stain at the bottom edge of a few pages at the back of the book, and the spine title is dulled, otherwise this is a very good book.
