This book has a rather bizarre publishing history. It was originally published by The Illustrated Editions Company in 1935 New York (Also known as the Arden Book Company), or at least made by them. There were several book stores within proximity to this company, and some got licensing rights to resell the books with their own imprint. Therefore this book on the title page says Concord Books (who were active from 1933-1937), with the copyright page stating The Illustrated Editions Company (who were active from 1929-1942).
