Collins White Circle Reprints Part VII

Twenty-two of the 50 titles published in 1942 by Wm Collins Sons & Co. Canada in the White Circle imprint were reprinted with new numbers in the series. Eight of the new numbers were also reprinted. One example is The Nutmeg Tree first published in 1937 (London: Arthur Barker).

The second printing states "REPRINTED 1945", the third printing "REPRINTED 1946". All printings state "COPYRIGHT CANADA 1942". The second and third printings are identical except for slight colour differences in the covers.
