FURTHER OVERSTREET NOTES: Most copies have a black circle stamped over the cover date (on the cover and inside) with "November" printed over it. However, some copies do not have the November overprint. Most No. 1 issues have printing defects, I.e. title pages which caused the trimming into the panels, usually on the right side and bottom. Covers exist with and without gloss finish.
