jgebhar: Probably.

But I doubt if it's the first book written about the Johnstown Flood.

rain5580:

I will take another look at the bibliography tomorrow, but I don't think it identifies a first American edition. For your other question, check your ebay messages.

jgebhar:
The Johnstown flood was in 1889.

[jgebhar]

OOphs.... yes I wrote that wrong.. The Flood was 1889 and the copyright date of the book is 1889.

How would one go about listing this:

"L'Aeroport De Paris Presente La Nouvelle Aerogare D'Orly

"Souvenir of the opening of the Orly Airport. Printed on heavy glossy paper"

(stolen from one i found listed for $50 on alibris)

It's in French... that's about all I can eke out.

Satnrose - A belated thanks re: Feb-23-08 19:34 PST 81 of 140 .

Just read it for the second time and got a laugh out of it once again.

[jmgrobe]

You might add Paris and France in the title too.

rain5580:

The Doyle bibliography does not identify a first American edition of Cloomber, although it does give details on American firsts of most titles.

Probably there is no consensus on the first--Munro published editions in the same time period as the earliest Fenno edition, and other publishers may have done so as well.

[curiousumbrella]

oldbookshop : Thanks so much for taking the time to look that up. I suppose I can at least tout it as an early American printing.

I have this book and when I seached it by the date I found it to be listed as first edition by some. My book does not state first editon. Can you help me figure this out?

swilliams0: I think there was only one printing of this book,
but two different issues: one in hardcover and the other in paperback.

The hardcover is worth more.

So they're all "first edition"s


Smith is one of my favorite photographers.

You can use some or all of the wikipedia text in your item description:

Thank you so much for your help, I also loved this book, I can truly sense the pain and joy Smith captured in his photographs.
I appreciate your answer to my question about this book. Now i understand the reason for the First Edition posting. Swilliams0

This has probably been asked and answered a thousand times and I apologize if it drives anyone crazy, but I'm just now getting into Mom's books and I don't know the answer, so ...
