'War time Notice' on the actual face of the title page, about the paper quality and that contents is unabridged because it was printed in 1942 at wartime when they had to compromise on the paper.B. Gretta orange end papers with the lookout man in the tree, not the brown style end pages or any other color.C. The cover needs to be brown with a smooth texture and not tan/beige with a thread texture. This is a genuine 1st edition and pretty scarce. Note: It could say copyright 1942 and still not be a 1st.
