National Library of Australia's Whelan copies both have original dustjackets; 1st copy signed by the author, December 1939 with typescript (also signed) pasted inside the front cover: "Philip S. Whelan, M.I.B'an,/ For weeks and weeks he hasn't been see-n,/ Has he been hiding from spies and traitors/ Or didn't he have any winter gaiters?/ Has he been active, or has he been lazy?/ His movements really are extremely hazy!/ Has he been searching the seas with a spy-glass/ Or looking for clues with the aid of an eye-glass?/ Has he been busy with suspect trapping/ Or has he been doing some steady napping?/ Has he been studying the moves in Roumania/ Or has he been practicing kleptomania?"; 2nd copy, incscribed, "To Philip Whelan - M.I.B., from M.I.B'an N.G.C.! Nelle Grant Cooper. 20.10.39". ANL |
