"Contributing to the multiplicity of editions was the failure of the United States to enact international copyright protection until 1891 resulting in some American issues being the "true firsts" of Kipling's books. And while Kipling's trade editions soon began to be published in large numbers after the American international copyright law's foundation date of July 1 1891 his London literary agent A.P. Watt and his New York publisher Frank N. Doubleday made extensive use of limited printings - as few as 8 to 25 copies - to establish copyright in each country" David Alan Richards "Collecting Kipling".
