Roma: Fratelli Palombi Editori, 1957. 162 pages, quality trade paperback with a lot of vintage pictures, text in Italian. I speak virtually no Italian but looks like this is about what was going on in Rome during World War I.

NY: Samuel French/Boston: Walter H. Baker, 1951. There's no publication date in this but there are notes on the 1st page dated "1951". I'm guessing that's the publication year but the book looks older. The book states that the play was first performed in London in 1892 so could be older. Also: the cover states that the book was published by Samuel French but the title page states that it was published by Walter H. Baker. Go figure. 108 pages, perfectbound playbook. Working copy but solid: covers c... more information
