[QUOTE="Danno, post: 254357, member: 4548"]. This is the first american edition, published in 1885 (hence the 132 years that I referenced) [ATTACH=full]78797[/ATTACH] I did not want to list all the relevant issue considerations but since you brought it up...please note that on line 6 of the attached photo it states "with the was", not "with the saw" as "Mark Twain" intended. [ATTACH=full]78796[/ATTACH] I previously included the draped bust on the frontice piece to provide some evidence that this is indeed first state. I am not asking for an opinion on this because prior to purchase, my research checked every single one of these relevant considerations. Baumann Rare Books provides an excellent summary of the first printings.
