The copy examined was bound in a library binding, but was not an ex library copy. The reverse of the last page of text has two lines that state "Hand-set in Weiss Bold by Edna Rushmore at- the Golden Hind Press in Madison, New Jersey.". The words "First Edition" and the letters "M-Q" are in a slightly larger type font. The copyright page has ten lines of text, followed by a blank line, followed by "3-2", followed by a blank line, followed by "FIRST EDITION", followed by the letters "M-Q" (M-Q is the Harper code for December-1941). The First Edition of "The Runaway Bunny" has Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York and London on the title page.
