It’s the first American edition. Found it while browsing a local used bookstore. It seems to be in good shape.

    seal it somewhere safe to prevent it getting further damage or like, scan it if you want idk.

    I just think it’s cool and you should cherish it somehow

      I don’t know anything about book preservation, something about it draws me into reading it. I’m conflicted between storing it and studying it

        You can probably safely read it, so long as you’re careful.

        Edit. And don’t read it in direct sunlight!

      I’d be careful that the light from a scanner doesn’t damage the paper/ink.

      I’d also be cautious about ‘sealing it’. Do not wrap books in plastic (i.e. hoping to keep it safe) – books have got to breathe.

      Safest bet might be a glass fronted wooden cabinet, away from the floor, and not in direct sunlight.

      Do not store it in a corrugated cardboard box, as that type of cardboard can be fertile for book lice and these love a bit of old paper and glue.

      I’m no expert, though, so there may be more to looking after old books than that.

    Nice find! I wish the places around me ever had anything that cool.

    I wonder what the author means by “revised and amplified”? I hope in a good way
