Art --
"First thus" is a handy but somewhat dubious shorthand phrase, and is a menu choice for the Edition field in ABE's Homebase program, so some sellers use it frequently. It should, though (I think), be followed by some kind of expanded explanation of the particulars of what makes the book at least semi-significant: first mass-market paperback printing, first illustrated edition, first photoplay edition, first edition with a punch-out mobile and a Wet-Nap glued inside the back cover by the publisher, etc. Art Layton writes: Please remind me; what does it mean when a bookseller describes a book as "first thus" Bob Print Matters!

No, I wasn't sick of the group; only those that posted messages attacking others and the others that posted books for sale with no attempt to determine if this was the appropriate newsgroup. Art |
