<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 737878, member: 8267&quot;]As others have noted, the change in the title would indicate a later version. Looking on abebooks.com, (searching for author: Miles, title: Natural History Anecdote) there are several early (1895) versions of this book listed. Comparing the descriptions of the covers, yours is most likely a later printing. One version is described as bound in &quot;original red pictorial cloth (paste-down of leopard), 5 1/2 x 8 inches&quot;. Another is described as &quot;original full olive green cloth with black &amp; gilt lettering on the front cover and the spine&quot;. The more decorative bindings would be more typical of a first printing. The cover of the op&#039;s edition is comparatively plain, with no illustration pasted on the cover or gilding on the title, and so probably later. Dodd, Mead may not have indicated subsequent printings on the copyright page during this time period.</p><p>The book might technically be considered a first edition, if the text was not altered from the original printing, but it would not be considered a first edition/first printing in any collectible sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
