D. Lothrop and Company published the first editions of the two Rand All Aboard books.

These titles were published in two formats: cloth ($2.25) and illuminated board covers ($1.75). Two board covers have been seen for "Sunrise Lands". The black cover for "Sunrise Lands" was a generic one utilized by Lothrop for other series, including the Bodley Series. The green cover was also used by the subscriptions houses. See below.

All of the early publications by all of the publishers of All Aboard for Sunrise Lands had the same cloth cover. Below is the 1882 second edition (cloth). The first and second editions are identical except the first edition does not note the edition number on the title page.
