    Short answer is, no. According to my partner, an experienced used bookseller -

    "[c.6.43] is the publisher's code indicating the third printing, in June of 1943. Starting some time in the 1930s, Harcourt normally stated "First Edition" on the copyright page and uses that code for later printings."

    Tis is a priceless thing having a Bibliophile here ! I've got a copy too (3rd Ed). If our copies had a DJ like the one below, it'd be a very good thing-

    One of my favourite poets. Time to reread Journey of the Magi I think.

    A cold coming we had of it…

    Mine too-certain of his passages are sublime,knock me sideways-close to or equaling the punch of a Shakespeare (sorry for the heresy !).
