Grey Cup or Bust

Winnipeg's Stovel-Advocate Press published Grey Cup or Bust in August 1954. Written by well known sports columnist Tony Allan the book must have been popular because there are five variants, three of the first printing and two of the second printing, also in August 1954.

The first printing's variants are:

• text on good white paper, bulks to 16 mm, sewn and stapled signatures, orange spine
• same but signatures not stapled, red spine
• text on pulp paper, bulks to 19 mm, sewn and stapled signatures, orange spine

The second printing's variants are:

• text on pulp paper, bulks to 14 mm, sewn but not stapled signatures, orange spine
• same with 12 page chapter added.

The front cover is the same for all variants except for the author's name - blue in the first printing and black in the second. Also the second printing with the extra chapter's sticker. The back covers are the same except the first printing has a yellow football player, the second a red.
