Price: 3/6?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).

Notes:
- UK edition Title page date 1906 Title page (image at Wikipedia) Published 1907, several sources note.
- June 1907 publication may be inferred from newspaper listings in The Athenaeum 1907-06-08 p698-700, "List of New Books" (per search report; not spotted by eye) and Manchester Guardian -06-24 p11, "Books Received".
- Price is from the latter listing.
- British Library (BL, below) reports a US-printed London ed./printing from Doubleday, Page primarily; and notes this one too, with call number, as "Another copy, with a different titlepage." Possibly that US-printed London ed./printing from Doubleday, Page is the 1st ed. 1st printing, as "New York and London" or the like. The cited BL record seems to mean that the "different title page" is the only difference.
