Because of the book club sale, MacMillian delayed the formal release date for GWTW to June 30, 1936. The publisher still shipped copies of the novel to bookstores in May.

First-edition book collectors were confused! Copies of GWTW purchased at publication bore "Published in June" on the copyright page (there had been three printings in June), yet earlier copies carried "Published in May". Collectors flooded MacMillian with requests for clarification. MacMillian was compelled to send out form letters explaining that copies of the book with the May publication date were the real first editions.
