I HAVE CORRECTED AN EARLIER TYPO OF MINE - WHICH FIRST SAID THE SUPPLEMENTS INCLUDED BALLETS 'NOW' INCLUDED IN 'COMPLETE BOOK' - WHAT I THOUGHT I WAS SAYING WAS 'NOT' INCLUDED - THE SUPPLEMENTS COVER WORKS N-O-T IN THE COMPLETE BOOK. DUHHHHHH.

My copy was reprinted in September 1952. It falls into two parts: ballets of the 19th century and ballets of the 20th century from 1937-1941. The first part contains three ballets by Didelot and a section devoted to Bournonville. The second part has ballets by Fokine, Massine, de Valois, Jooss, Osvalds Lemanis, Lifar, Ashton, Catherine Littlefield, Tudor, Christensen, Andree Howard, Lichine, Loring, and Frank Staff. The final section of part two is devoted to Soviet ballets of this era.
