Scoop. First edition, in the first issue dust jacket, sporting a clear pastiche of the Daily Express masthead. Memorably mocked in the novel as Lord Copper, the Express's proprietor Lord Beaverbrook immediately threatened to sue and the jacket was quickly reprinted with the offending "Daily Beast" header removed.
