This copy is an issue UNRECORDED by Siegel or Frazier, and bears a cancel title page for English publishers Hutchinson: Published by Hutchinson & Co. (Publishers) Ltd. London for the Derrydale Press. The verso of the title page has a different limitation statement, "950 copies for England and America", instead of "De Luxe edition 56 copies | Regular edition 850 copies" and indicates Connett printed an additional hundred copies for the English market. Hutchinson published an English edition of Connett's Any Luck? this same year (1935). Hanneman notes this issue of American Big Game Fishing in his discussion of Hemingway's contribution to the book, and copies are recorded in British deposit libraries, but very few have survived.
