The First Edition bound in yellowish orange ribbed cloth. The spine has the author's name, title, and publishers name stamped in black. The front cover has the title and author's name stamped in black and has Seckatary Hawkins Head as well as an open book with inkwell and fountain pen with paper stamped in silver. The dust jacket is on off white paper and is printed in green. The front panel and spine has much of the printing done in a reverse effect with the lettering in white and with the background in green. The price on the dust jacket is $2.00. All page edges have been trimmed and the top edge has been stained green. Some copies are said to have an unstained top edge, but I have not been able to confirm this. Some copies have the green top edge badly faded and this may be what some call an unstained top edge.
