1...... ADAMS, Richard. THE GIRL IN A SWING. London: Allen Lane.
1980. 1st edition, Canadian issue. Corresponds in all ways to the
withdrawn UK edition: Allen Lane on title page, heroine's name as Käthe
Geutner throughout; however, the dust wrapper bears a price of $12.95 at
the base of the front flap, obviously not a British issue. We bought a
bunch of these remaindered in Victoria in 1982, I suspect that they were
dumped there rather than withdrawn. A very fine copy in dust wrapper.
