I believe your information is not accurate. I have a US first edition of ROTK published in 1955 and it has the appendicies as part of the book. I checked that edition before I posted this thread this morning just to make sure.

To clarify ..having checked it was the index that was missing - the appendices delayed publication but were included.

However it may be worth adding that it seems that there was a great disparity in English and US copyright legislation else the rip off edition would not have been possible.
