Can a bookclub book be a first edition?

I recently purchased David Attenborough's book 'Zoo Quest to Guiana' on the basis it was a 1st edition however it has arrived and it makes no reference to it being a 1st edition or not. The inside cover simple states:

'Copyright 1956 David Attenborough

This edition by arrangement with Lutterworth Press

Printed in great Britain by Ebenezer Baylis and Son Ltd, The Trinity Press, Worcester and London

I have been to the local libary and have been advised that as the inside cover has a 'book club' reference (The Travel Book Club 121 Charing Cross Road London W.C.2. printed on the front page) that it is in fact not a original 1st print but one printed on behalf of a book club

Does anyone have any ideas on this book as all i can find on the internet is that it was first printed by Lutterworth Press in 1956

It was advsertised as a first edition with no mention of a book club and if it isnt then I will be sending this back!!

Thanks for any advices

This was Attenborough's first book and I would find it very surprising if it had a second printing less than a year after publishing - so that points towards your book being a first edition. The one proviso to that is you have not quoted any printing date in your book. This and the words "This edition" suggest that this is not the first edition.

It is also shown as published by Lutterworth Press - which points away from it being a first edition

I have tried to foind out if there was any link between Lutterworth and Baylis (for example Baylis publishing some of Lutterworths books) but I can't find one.

I can't be 100% sure but I don't think you have a first edition there

 Aardvark, Aardvark, How Do You Do!


Aardvark, Aardvark, How Do You Do!


$23.79


Aardvark, Aardvark, How Do You Do! is a remarkable creation by the author and artist to teach a specific mode of art which uses the Elements of Design: color, line, shape, space, texture and value, Not realistically rendered this form of art is called nonrepresentational or nonobjective art. Poems and painting, thoughts from the author and aardvark and suggested exercises teach that the images stand on their own as Elements of Design. Although, you may see an aardvark as the author did. Judy O'Toole-Freel and Mirle Freel have been on a lifelong quest of creative expression. They have channeled this love through writing, the visual arts and equestrian riding and training. Although well acquainted with horses, the author has met only one aardvark and that was at a zoo. Recently she met her second aardvark through her playful imagination. While absorbed with one of the images you will find in the art book and pondering the Elements of Design that embody this mode of expression, she saw an aardvark and a redhead staring at each other. From this interpretation and use of her imagination evolved the art book, Aardvark, Aardvark, How Do You Do!The book encourages the use of the imagination and self-expression through twelve poems paired with twelve paintings in an adventure to become enlightened about nonrepresentational art. Aardvark, Aardvark, How Do You Do! is fun for all to cultivate visual literacy. It is a fundamental teaching tool to be used at home and at school in art classes and libraries. Also galleries, museums, gift shops and bookstores will want to put this superlative art book on their shelves for children and adults alike to enter the world of aesthetics through art and poetry. Plato put it well, "Art education brings grace to the body and nobility to the mind".
