    Had some friends send me this book. Their parents had given it to them and they thought of me. Gotta be grateful for good friends. I thought this was too interesting to keep to myself and wanted to share with the forum. Any information would be nice. I thought the last pic. would be interesting. Enjoy.

    Gee... how did you know?

    Look on the first page about 1" down for the edition #.

    That is the only way to keep track.

    The folks on eBay do not know how to list edition #'s.

    I was wondering what happened to my copy of that. I remember dropping it somewhere back about 1932 or 3. :goofer:
    Books like that are really great. I've got a catalog from a place I used to go to about 40 years ago for coins. Sometimes books or articles like that are as great as coins too.

    Frank,
    It is the 34th edition. Good?

    There has never been a study of the rarity of individual editions.

    But, this is one way to keep a list of them, since in many years Mehl issed two editions, so the copywrite date is not sufficient.
