[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 10079640, member: 22"]How do I determine the age of this edition of the book. There are no dates in it, no issue numbers. Google images gives many different book covers. Searching eBay I find a similar cover for sale in the US that states 1896, a UK listing has no date. I'm not a book reader and knew very little about this one, nor the history. I did not realise it caused so much controversy. Even though it was a US author, Wiki says in 1852, 300,000 first editions were purchased in the US and 1.5 million in the UK:eek: [ATTACH=full]505924[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
