Bill of the U.S.A. by
Kenneth Graham Duffield 1918
This little 62 page book (5.75 x 3.75) was published in 1918. It was
copyrighted on May 1, 1918. Three different cover formats were
published.
a. Cloth -50 cents
b. Imitation Morocco - 75 cents
c. Full Leather - $1.25
The interiors of the books are identical. "Printed in the United of
America" does not appear on any copyright page. (This indicates a
pre-1922 publication).
The cloth books have been seen with two different dust jackets. One of
which has a written poem on the front and one of which does not.
Between the dust jackets no known priority can be assigned.
This was a very popular book. By the fall of 1918 it was in its
27,000th printing.
