[QUOTE="JayBee, post: 2707756, member: 9259"]Reprints are not the same as the original editions. Your 1924 copy does not lose value because there are reprints, vintage or recent. In some cases, vintage reprints are quite valuable. A first edition dated 1880 or 1900 for example may be impossible to find, while a 1920s or 1930s reprint may still be possible to find, and quite valuable. Rarity of course plays a role on the value of a book in most cases; one of a run of 50, 100 copies will be more valuable than a copy from a run of 5,000.
