I would like to ask help from this group for some ‘missing’ Folio Society book variants.
I appreciate that this topic is very esoteric and personal, and probably not of great interest except to the most dedicated FS fan, but for those of you out there interested in FS minutiae, this is for you.
Nearly all the descriptions below come from the Folio 75 Bibliography PDF available from the Folio Society website, but despite looking (for almost 40 years, in some cases), I have not been able to find any examples. If any of you have seen examples, or – even better – can provide photos, I would be very grateful. The numbering of the books is from Folio 75
Happy to receive info through replies to this post, or as private messages.

It doesn’t interest me, but was intrigued enough to check the ones I have - unfortunately I own none of these variants.
The Maltese Faction (2000) does not have printing information on mine - I’m thinking it’s quite possible that some of these cannot be identified

Very interesting. I have PMd you regarding a possible example of one.

I can actually help you with some of these. I have (65) Moll Flanders with the cream linen and the 3b Deans Yard address on the DJ. Its the one with the "incorrect" version "Moll Flanders who was born in Newgate and, during a Life of Continu'd Variety was Ten Years a Whore Three Times Married etc", rather than the later "corrected" version which you reference "Moll Flanders Who was Born in Newgate, and during a Life of continu'd Variety for Threescore Years, besides her Childhood, was Twelve Year a Whore, five times a wife etc"
Edit.. Actually on rereading your note you may be seeking a copy where the first gathering was replaced by a corrected gathering and rebound, then issued in the original dust jacket. Can't help with that.
Next, I do have two copies of (70) Ask Mamma, one with the US distributor Philip C. Duschnes printed, and the other without.
I have a few of the other books listed so I'll try and take a look at these when time permits. I'll try and take some photos/scans and send them to you.
Interestingly, a few years ago, I swapped a couple of emails with Paul Nash (Folio 50 & 60) about another matter and mentioned the Duschnes imprint. At the time he was not aware of the US distributor printings.
