Doubleday Doran query.... by Jonathan Brodie
The RCB archive tells me that this question was asked a few years ago but was not answered. I'll try again. Perhaps a Doubleday Doran scholar has joined the group in the meantime. What does 'CL' mean on the copyright page? Thanks as always... Jonathan http://www.abebooks.com/home/JBRODIE1750/
