Hi, I've got two copies of "The Little Prince" - the first is a green hardback dated 1943, Third Printing (Reynal). The other is dated 1943 (Harcourt), no mention of "X printing", but halfway up the page it says "m. 2. 59". Does this mean it was published in 1959? I also have an Educational...

Have you noticed how scarce old books are becoming? Of course, to consider the matter, you need a definition of "old books" in the context of my question. Let us, then, say books printed in the 1920's and earlier, since most such books have a sufficiently old look.
