Note: Previous editions of this bibliography state this book was issued in the U.S. by Random House. Wexler states “Although the Cumulative Book Index, 1933-1937 lists a Random House edition at $2.50 and Alan Clark’s Checklist (A43) includes it, Random House verifies that a separate edition was never published. Random House, however, distributed this book in the United States. A memo dated 1 February 1937 in the Random House files lists sales and inventories of five co-published Seizin Press/ Constable books including Progress of Stories and Almost Forgotten Germany.
