My thanks for all this information. ...Hello Steve,<br /><br />My thanks for all this information. Fascinating stuff, what floors me is the idea that News Stand Library actually corrected interior text between the two printings. It seems so unlike them. I wish I could remember other errors - with NSL there are always so many - if only to see if there were other corrections.<br /><br />The copy you have (26A) would've been published for export to the American market two months after the Canadian (April 1950).<br /><br />Like you, I once collected primarily for the cover art. Now, of course, I delve into the pages in the hope of coming up with the occasional pearl. It does happen, though not very often.<br /><br />Thanks for the heads up regarding Freemasonry. There's no way i would have known of the connection. <br /><br />Thank also for pointing out your collection. A visual treat!<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />BrianBrian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-87086381885249687592015-04-20T04:25:14.394-04:002015-04-20T04:25:14.394-04:00Hi Brian.

You can see the front and back covers of my copy here: (https://www.flickr.com/photos/56781833@N06/).<br /><br />My copy claims to be the first printing June, 1950 and I note that the title page and back cover of mine both identify the author as Greenshade - not Greenslade.<br /><br />Another difference is that my edition attributes the Bible quote to "The Apocryphs, IV, 22" - not to "Ibid."<br /><br />More trivia: this Bible quote is also found in the Liturgy of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Perhaps a source for Greenshade?<br /><br />Regards,<br />Steveukemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076858108645119350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-20366649447361968872014-08-07T14:42:27.845-04:002014-08-07T14:42:27.845-04:00Based on the cover, here's what I learned abou...Based on the cover, here's what I learned about women:<br /><br />Shoes, belt and handbag should always match.<br /><br />Knuckles G.Knuckles Girlyskirthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18113945990776276595noreply@blogger.com
