Altho I know I have some 1st editions - but I will need to check if they are also 1st printings. <BR/><BR/>I love all these older books - especilly some with the wonderful period illustrations. I found an old,in-poor-condition copy of MILLIONS OF CATS several years ago at a gargare sale - it's ripped on several pages - but - wow - those black and white pictures!Eileen Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03147679493619958932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-10199216548266303172009-02-20T14:47:00.000-05:002009-02-20T14:47:00.000-05:00Hi Suzanne,I checked out your cousin's website - s...Hi Suzanne,<BR/>I checked out your cousin's website - some interesting (and expensive) titles! <BR/><BR/>Afraid I'll have to make do with what I have now, but it's always fun to window shop on the Net.Gale Sypher Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316827256622168039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-72212834287447888512009-02-20T10:28:00.000-05:002009-02-20T10:28:00.000-05:00This is a great post.

I have a ton of them stashed in my kid's closet. I removed them when my kids were reading the pbs because I didn't want them to get ripped. Now that my kids are done with the books, I will put those jackets back on and the books in a safe place, then wait, oh, about 50 years, and make a killing! But really, thanks for the good advice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-73432312778955112942009-02-18T16:25:00.000-05:002009-02-18T16:25:00.000-05:00Oh, I LOVED Watership Down!
