Two Simultaneous Editions of Lewis Carroll's "The Game of Logic."

This essay delves into the publication history of the book "The Game of Logic (GL)," by Lewis Carroll, that had two different editions. When GL was to be published for the 1886 Christmas market, Carroll made a cancellation of the first edition because he was not satisfied with the printing job of the local printer E. Baxter. However, the author sent an original copy to his colleague R. E. Baynes while 250 copies were sent to the U.S., and decided to make extensive revisions to the book particularly in chapter 3. The revised book was referred to the 1887 edition. The release of the 1887 edition preceded the 1886 in the bookstalls in the U.S.
