I am new at this, so if my question is not in the approved form or in the correct place, please forgive and instruct me. I looked at the page on Lancelot Law Whyte to check on the original publication date for his book The Next Development in Man. What I found there seemed very misleading. My paperback edition carries the following publication information. The Mentor (paper) edition was first published in 1950 by the New American Library of World Literature Inc. in New York, NY, USA, and printing 3 was in 1962. The preface is dated 1949. The author copyrighted in 1949 and 1950. The publication information contains this statement: "For the Mentor edition of The Next Development in Man the author contributed a new Preface and Introduction and made some minor revisions in the text." From this I think it can be deduced that there was an initial hardback edition, published in either 1949 or 1950. I think that in listing author bibliographies it is very misleading to students to provide the publication information for much later editions, published in this case after the author's death. What should I do? john.garavelli 03:35, 11 December 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by John.garavelli (talk • contribs)
