This detail page shows several photos of the book to show what a first edition looks like. The images are original photos taken of my personal copy of the first edition book.
Champagne for One - Collins (1959):
- This is the Collins Crime Club UK first edition
- The front flap has the price at the bottom (10s 6d net)
- The cover is red cloth with black lettering and a logo on the spine.
- The copyright page has no further printings noted and has the copyright symbol (© Rex Stout, 1959) on the top line of the three lines at the bottom of the page
- The comparison slide provided shows the difference between a first edition and a later printing.
