Well, it does have the row of ten numbers, so I am definitely one lucky
chick. I scanned it, I have not seen such a great condition book, smile.
This books acts like it is brand new, but I know it is at least over fifty
years old, and indeed the only thing I can see wrong with the cover is one
corner is bend in, like extra weight was put on it.
But gave it a scan, and will be editing and submiting in the next few days
while this treasure goes on a shelf for future enjoyment.

Shelley,
Are there numbers at the bottom of the copyright page
as we've been seeing? I'm not sure whether they had
them in earlier books. If there are, and there are 10
numbers, whether they're from one to ten or reverese
order or odds and evens, then you do indeed have a
first edition.
