Researched The Blakiston Co. and not alot of information but did find that it is listed as an imprint of Doubleday publishers and sold to McGraw-Hill in 1947. So it seems that it is there, like you said, because of one of the printing runs. I love conversations like this. It's like finding random pieces of a puzzle an completing the picture. Thank you for your help, sanfisher

Hi, Just joined this site after searching for information on a first eition of The Fountainhead after I bought a copy today from a resale shop. It seems to fit the the profile (maybe) of a first eition in the green cover 1. Green cover 2. 1943 3. First page blank, second says :The Fountainhead", third page says, The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand The Blakiston Company Philadelphia, back of that page :copyright, 1943,the bobbs_merrill company manufactured in the United States, next page says "To Frank O'Conner, next page has a couple paragraphs and signed Ayn Rand March 10,1943 Then the contents page 4. does not say first eition 5. does have all the errors that I read about Is this a first edition in the green cover? Appreciate any comments an enjoyed the information that I have found so far. Thank,you, sandfisher
