[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 254350, member: 56"]Take a look at these, and check the points these sellers specify. [URL]https://www.biblio.com/the-adventures-of-huckleberry-by-twain-mark/work/1266[/URL] Right off the cuff, the cover is different. Back then, editions and printing records certainly weren't included by the publisher. From the site above, one seller says the book was originally published in 1884 in London and Montreal, but wasn't published in the U.S. until 1885. This might have been issued 20 years later with the same copyright info, if no change had occurred in the meantime. Interesting references to a suppressed illustration. (edit) I see the illustration you show is the corrected version. [URL]http://mentalfloss.com/article/31107/crudely-drawn-penis-almost-derailed-huckleberry-finn[/URL] Check pg 57 for the phrase "with the saw". If it's there, it's not a first.[/QUOTE]
