“This day are published, price three shillings, neatly bound in red
leather...☞This is the only genuine edition of Hoyle's Games, with his last
corrections and improvements; and the proprietors cannot help giving this
caution, that any copy of this book not signed 'Edmond Hoyle,' at the back of
the title page, is not to be depended upon as Mr. Hoyle's, whatever may be
pretended to impose upon the public.”

The OCl copy has press figure 4 on page K2v instead of K6v.
It seems likely that the odd signature on H4v was intended to be a press figure,
as otherwise there is none in the outer forme of gathering H. Indeed the PPL copy has a press figure of 5 on H8v.
