LA Bantam - Love on the Run

The 18th book published by Bantam Publications is Love on the Run by Fred MacIsaac. The book has a 1938 copyright date but I can't find anything about an earlier edition. Searches on WorldCat, Library of Congress, Google and book dealer data bases come up empty. It may have been first published with a different title.

In common with all but one of LA Bantam's books Love on the Run is 100 pages long and is 110 mm (4 5/16") wide by 152 mm (6") tall. Cover and pages are made from high acid pulp paper. The page collation is:

[1] title page,
2-100 Love on the Run.

The copyright date is on the title page.

In common with most LA Bantams there are variant covers, strong yellowish green/light gray and strong yellowish green/light orange yellow versions. The text is identical but in addition to the colour differences the type on the front cover has been changed and the back cover on the strong yellowish green/light orange yellow version has one of the ads seen on the last eight books in the series. My guess is that this is a second printing.
