FIRST EDITION OF DREISER
’
S FIRST NOVEL
;
AN UNSOPHISTICATED COPY
.
Virtually sup-
pressed by the publisher Frank Doubleday due
to its perceived immoral subject matter, Sister
Carrie was grudgingly released with little men-
tion and the resultant sales were predictably low.
Doubleday’s secretary: “These are the actual
facts about Sister Carrie, as revealed by the
analysis card. The first edition consisted of
1,008 copies, of which 129 were sent out for
review, 465 were sold, and the balance, 423
copies, were turned over to J.F. Taylor &
Company” (Orton, p. 17).
