I recently picked up a copy of "Pot Luck' by Roland Clark at a junk shop. Havent really looked at it yet, and cant remember when it was printed. Just a spur of the moment buy, nice pencil drawings, didnt pay much for it.

Pot Luck was first published in 1945, did yours come in the slip case?

Might just have become dilapidated, like mine, and has been discarded.

The book is in good shape and apparently was from the first printing in Jan 1945 of which 5000 were printed--so it says, inside the book.

Very interesting. My copy is 1 of 450 limited edition signed by the author, however mine is missing the page denoting # of 450 with the author’s signature. Now I’ll need to go back down to my library to see if that page has been cut out.


Well, my copy is not missing that page so it is not one of the LE of 450....
And it’s not one of the other limited editions of 150, so I guess it is only a slip-cased trade edition. But like Harold says, it really is a good read.
