Though we have handled both issues multiple times, we have not had the opportunity to compare the two issues side by side, but Michele Cloonan, author of the new biography of Alice Millard, did compare them, together with her husband, bibliographer Sid Berger, and they have noted that there were changes between the two editions, including cleaning up some weak impressions of the type, and in one case, correcting a typographical error by changing a period to a comma. Alice Parsons Millard (1873-1938) was known widely during her lifetime as a bookseller and a friend of other bibliophiles like Ward Ritchie and William Andrews Clark, as well as an important advisor to collectors like William Andrews Clark, Henry Huntington, Estelle Doheny. Caroline Poole and Templeton Crocker. She was also known for commissioning Frank Lloyd Wright to build her home, La Miniatura, in Pasadena.
