Many of the American editions listed in this bibliography do not appear in the AMerican Library of Congress Catalogue for some reason, in fact the British Library holds more American publications?. British editions have been listed as and when applicable. A collectable author, the American first edition books can be found, early ones scarce in dust jacket and priced accordingly, later ones relatively common. British edition are rarer, shorter print runs. Artwork is attractive though not classic, the Swan editions are somewhat cheap in production quality, reflects in the budget for the artwork too.
