Two Books, Similar But Different. Both Have Identical Text In All Respects (Including "De Luxe Edition" On Title Page), Mounted Illustrations, Arrangement, And Bindings (Tan Cloth Spines, Green Cloth Boards, Gilt Lettering On Spines And Covers). However, Issue A, Which Appears To Be The Firstl Printing, Is 1 1/2" Thick, The Publisher's Name On Spine Is 3/16" High, All Inking Is Fine And Without Any Wear To Type, The Plates Are Mounted On Heavy Tan Paper, The Title And Publisher's Name Are Printed In Red On The Title Page, The Marginal Illustrations Throughout Are In A Mixture Of Olive And Blue Green Inks. Issue B Is Only 1 1/8" Thick, The Publisher's Name Is 5/16" Tall, The Title And Publisher's Name And All Marginal Illustrations Are In The Same Blue-Green Ink, The Ink Throughout Is Not So Fine Albeit Heavy, The Plates Are Mounted On Heavy Blue Paper, And The Marginal Illustrations Throughout Are Different. Thus, Two Copies, Copy B Very Good, Copy A Good Except The Type A Copy Is Missing The Color Plate Mounted On Page 164, Although The Mounting Paper Is Still Bound In (The Illustration Could Easily Be Replaced From Another Copy).
