ppint. 11th Dec 2023		@oldmod67 yes, although it's not a special secret merkin code; it's the printer's printing job date. earlier airmont reprintings use the n-nn or nn-nn format - the initial ''19'' of the year is implicit - and the last of the airmont reprintings i've seen (c. 1978) do not bear a printer's date thus at all.



OldMod67 23rd Sep 2023		@ppint- p253 contains code 6/82. Is this the American print code you speak of? The reverse of tp just lists the 1965 copyright. 256pp is correct, from title page to last of Airmont Classics listing. No blanks.



ppint. 23rd Sep 2023		thomas bouregy & co. airmont books small format trade p/b first printing, of first p/b edition airmont classic series uses the first english translation, published by griffith and farran in h/cvr (1871 or 1872), q.v. nf introduction by robert a. w. lowndes cover art unsigned, uncredited, still as-yet unattributed sfaik cover price 95¢ 256pp. including titles, indicia, introduction, etc, end pp. advertising last or penultimate page of text usually bears the printer's job (abbreviation of) date printed highly unlikely to boast an sbn, let alone an isbn - this is prob'ly an amazoniclasm, as the sbn wasn't invented 'til later in the sixties - until a considerably later printing; the cover shown is of a later reprinting.



OldMod67 27th Nov 2022		Introduction by Robert A. W. Lowndes. Due to character name changes, this is sometimes known as the 'Hardwigg' translation (1871) This translation begins 'Looking back to all that has occured to me..'
