<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morg, post: 4299451, member: 18927&quot;]Oof – I wrote a reply, but wasn&#039;t logged in and lost it. Anyway, I&#039;ll try this again, ha!</p><p><br /></p><p>That makes sense to me - I appreciate your replies! My post was really to appease my curiosity and confirm bibliographic information. I spent quite a bit of time on Saturday looking things up among the set of ~50 texts I picked up. Some were easier to find than others. These last four were the only ones I really just had no idea about. Dewey is obvious, of course, but I just couldn&#039;t understand why I couldn&#039;t find the 3rd edition listed anywhere. The books were just $1 each, so I ended up buying several for various different reasons – either for myself, for family or friends, to donate, or to possibly sell. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some of those I picked up for myself include:</p><ul> <li>The Thoreau (it&#039;s just beautiful)</li> <li>1st Ed. of In Cold Blood with dust jacket in pristine condition</li> <li>1st Ed. of Carson&#039;s The Sea Around Us (great condition, ripped dust jacket)</li> <li>Treasure Island (Pocket Classics, 1921)</li> <li>Pristine 1st Ed. Michener&#039;s Texas</li> <li>Leather bound 1924 Tom Sawyer Abroad and other stories</li> </ul><p>Some for family/friends:</p><ul> <li>Some cultural and historical books about Tennessee, incl. The Tennessee - the Old River: Frontier to Secession; Hugh Walker&#039;s Tennessee Tales (signed)<br /> </li> <li>A Treasury of American Prints (1939)</li> </ul><p><br /></p><p>Some for donation (all 1st ed.):</p><ul> <li>Some Historic Houses (John C. Fitzpatrick)</li> <li>The Preservation of the Hermitage (Mary C. Dorris) and some other old Andrew Jackson<br /> </li> <li>Kropotkin&#039;s The Great French Revolution (vols. 1 &amp; 2, 1927)</li> <li>Wister&#039;s Philosophy Four (1907)</li> <li>The Brooker Texas Epitome</li> </ul><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Some to sell:</p><ul> <li>Four 1st Eds. of Rudyard Kipling, including the Verse Inclusive Edition, 1885-1918; Barrack Room Ballads; Departmental Ditties, Ballads, and Barrack-Room Ballads; and France at War.</li> <li>Erle Stanley Gardner: The Case of the Silent Partner (1946)</li> <li>Anthony Hope: The Indiscretion of the Duchess (1894)</li> <li>Allan Pinkerton: The Spy of the Rebellion (1883)</li> <li>Frank Swinnerton: Nocture (1917)</li> <li>DH Lawrence: Sons and Lovers (1913)</li> </ul><p><br /></p><p>Some I still haven&#039;t decided about: </p><ul> <li>Ludovic Halevy: The Abbe Constantin (1st US printing?
