I picked this one up on the Bay. The curious thing is the date stamp on the back. The cover date of the book is August 1955, but the date FEB 16 1956 is on the back cover in three places. (Actually, one of the three says FEB 91 1956 because the 16 is flipped.) I have never seen a book with a date stamp that's six months later than the cover date. Is there any way this could be an actual arrival date, for instance if it was shipped on a slow boat to some overseas naval base commissary? Or did someone randomly stamp a date on it six months after it was purchased?

 

 

I would suggest that someone was testing their date stamp, and it has nothing to do with the arrival date.
