"An estimated twenty-five to thirty copies were bound using the dust jacket as a wrapper and sent to reviewers prior to publication. The printed material which appeared on the flaps of the dust wrapper in the first edition was printed on two white strips of paper. These strips were laid-in [i.e. laid- down] inside the top cover." Cf. Pieratt, Huffman-Klinkowitz, and Klinkowitz.
