Contact seller5-star sellerPamphlet. First Edition. [3] pages. A single-page poem, published to secure copyright and preceeding all other editions. The print runs of these copyright editions is frequently estimated at 50 to 75 copies. In Kipling's era, US copyright law did not protect British authors and unless their work was first published in the US, it… could be impossible to secure a American copyright protection. As a solution, Kipling's publisher arranged for small chapbooks, of which this is an example, to be published. First edition (first printing). Very good in wrappers (paperback) but for a split at the top of the spine and a folded corner.
