    Thank you for posting this cover!
    I think I have the first edition, but no jacket cover.
    My book is of black linen and on the top of the spine – in red printing “Errol Flynn”, then a space and in light blue printing “My Wicked,” and right below in gold lettering “Wicked Ways”. On the bottom of the spine in red “Putnam”. It has 438 pages instead of the normal 386 pages. Inside it says: “1959 by G. P. Putnam's Sons – Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 59-7849.
    Would anybody know if I have an authentic “First Edition”?

    Always check the colophon page, in this case on the other side of the title page, where a first edition will simply say “© 1959 BY G.P. PUTNAM'S SONS”

    Hi Robert;
    Thank you so much for this information, most appreciated.
    In this case I have a First Edition of Putnam 1959 as it is printed exactly as you say! You are a Gem!
    The best to you,

    I noticed on this book cover – printed on the bottom right side
    (C)Grendel Books ABAA/ILAB
    When googling Grendel Books I find the following information: “Independent booksellers since 1987
    of hard to find, out of print, used, and rare books.”
    If the cover is a first edition Putnam cover from 1959 how could Grendel print the above given information on the cover?
    Could anybody please explain this?
