<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4193892, member: 8267"]If yours looks like the one on Amazon, that looks like a later printing (just based on the style of the cover). On the copyright page, there may be an indication of the date it was actually printed (as opposed to the original copyright). Books Inc. was a low cost publisher, and probably issued a variety of versions of the book to boost sales. At any rate, the possibility that your particular version seems uncommon would not add significant value if it is a later printing anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do not pay any attention to astronomical Amazon prices.
