What led me to believe it was a Dover reprint was the heavy use of black ink. Compare the colors on Ruth's cap, belt and stockings in the reprint to Leon's true and beautiful Babe. The black is much sharper when it should be more of a faded blue. This is more pronounced on Dover CJ reprints, which flooded the market about 20 years ago raw by some of the usual suspects still around today. I stand behind Dover Reprint.
