I have always been puzzled by the reference to Mixed Moss.
"MIXED MOSS. By a Rolling Stone. Pub. 1930, 8th edition 1931"
I could see that a popular book such as Mixed Moss would have had eight reprints by 1931, but eight editions?
It seems unlikely that Arthur Ransome was so inexperienced with publishing (and successful books) that he thought each reprint was a new edition?
