Publisher: Random House
First Printed: 1964
Cover Art by Ed Vebell
Internal Illustrations by Harry Kane

Trade Edition First Printing Identification:
-- No list on the back cover
-- The title page of the First Printing of Stuttering Parrot simply states "Illustrations by Ed Vebell." There is no reference to Harry Kane (the actual illustrator - Ed Vebell was the cover artist) or the author, Robert Arthur. These errors were corrected for the Second Printing of the books.

Additional Trade Edition First Printing Characteristics:
-- Matte cover finish
-- Wrap-around cover art (see notes)
-- Blue graveyard/spiderweb endpapers (uncut)
-- Stitched binding
-- No inner list
-- No ISBN on the back cover
-- Copyright Page details: click here

Notes:
-- Second Printings of Stuttering Parrot also had no title list on the back cover, but the errors on the title page were corrected, the endpapers were cut and the textblock was no longer stitched, but glued.
-- Early printings (at least the First and Second) of both the Trade and GLB Editions of Stuttering Parrot had wrap-around cover art. For unknown reasons, this was changed in very early 1966: the art on the front and back covers remained the same, but the spine became solid yellow. This change would remain through the end of both editions. Click here for a comparison of the two spines.

Cover Art by Bill Dodge
Internal Illustrations: None

First Printing Identification: 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 numberline on the copyright page.

Notes:
-- This version is not a new edition, but a reissue (with a new set of printings) of the Bullseye Edition with different cover art. Both share the same ISBN and printing plates (typeface). Technically, this issue should be included with the Bullseye Edition, but was given a separate section because it was part of a recent Random House release of the first eleven books in the series with renewed copyrights.
