Question about "The Little Prince" copyright page
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 Edition of "Le Petit Prince". It states "copyright, 1946 by Houghton Mifflin Company copyright, 1943, by Reynal and Hitchcock, Inc. No number/letter coding on this one. I've been google-izing book education websites but haven't found the answer. I haven't come across this before in any of my other books. Any help w/my education is much appreciated. Thanks! Frankie |

Yes--13th printing, February 1959 I also have an Educational Edition of "Le Petit Prince". It states "copyright, 1946 by Houghton Mifflin Company copyright, 1943, by Reynal and Hitchcock, Inc. No number/letter coding on this one. There are about 20 copies listed at ABE, ranging in price from about $5 to $40. None of the listings shares any useful bibliographic info, and publishers often use different systems for their textbook publications, so I'm not sure what to look for here myself. Is there a date on the title page? Any additional info on the copyright page? Any codes or number lines on the last (or last printed) page? -- Jon Meyers (To reply, lose your way) |
