When I tried to duplicate the search, the record you cite shows no libraries holding:
http://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/MoreLikeThis?searchtype=morelikethese:sessionid=fsapp11-45633-f98nf6lm-jab2mk:entitypagenum=59:0
Not sure what you mean by seeing one library holdiong the Darton & Harvey edition.
As for the larger issue, I believe that not all institutions open their holdings to worldcat search despite having contributed catalog records which explains the "no library holding" situation. That and, unfortunately, deaccessioning.

OCLC (WorldCat) will occasionally list an item as having one location
but the detailed entry does not list any copy, as for instance
http://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/FSFETCH?fetchtype=fullrecord:sessionid=fsapp11-45633-f98nf6lm-jab2mk:entitypagenum=11:0:recno=22:resultset=4:format=FI:next=html/record.html:bad=error/badfetch.html:entitytoprecno=22:entitycurrecno=22:numrecs=1
Any explanation ? Thanks, Norman
