Youcan-have one of those books-dated 1903-same as your pic but blue cover.---Richo.

ps -just found another one dated 1905--has green cover.

Why do i hang onto all these books .lol.

[imastawka]

It was first published in 1903 Richo - 1st edition?

[serendipityricho]

Yep Stawka--July 1903---might be worth a $ some day.

In fact as fashions go in book collecting -would have been worth more years ago than now.....Richo..

[imastawka]

Dunno so much.

Have a look at the international sellers on here - pretty pricey for a 1st edition

[youcandoityoucandoityoucandoit]

Richo,do either copy have the original dustjacket? 

Worth more with it...

Im not holding my breath here, cause you might have already 'hit the cot'..I will check on your answer tomorrow..lol

[serendipityricho]

Youcan--no dust jackets--does make a big difference in price.

The 2 copies i have are .left overs from a bulk purchase of books (car load) 

Most of the books i purchased were Australian--the kind i like..............................Richo.

ps-not far out of the cot .lol.

[youcandoityoucandoityoucandoit]

oh, hi Richo! lol re the cot comment..

They would probably still be worth hundreds, though, right?

Must be interesting collecting books..Im picturing towers of them, on every surface..haha

PS, just curious, have you read this one?..

[serendipityricho]

Youcan-dont read much -the eyesights not real good.

Prefer Australian history-in particular-the local area.

Can still spot a good book in a oppo shop as i come in the door

and the bookcase is at the back of the shop..lol........................................Richo.
