Still trying to find out if 1st (getting ready for onslaught) - 6-line
colophon, green endpapers, but ISBN back panel of dust jacket - just
early reprint?
Thanks

Yes, sounds like it's probably a much later reprint. How does the colophon
read, exactly?

Sorry for delay (setting up new computer, feel as if I've been through
a war). $3.95 price on d/j flap, no date on title page, LCC 63-14604,
copyright 1964. ISBN on back of d/j is 394-81011-2. Colophon on last

Only the last part would be the colophon, and the first state has six lines
of printing info, while later versions have five. My sons' copy has 5
lines, and yours is almost the same. Could you have left out some? Mine
reads (lines 3 & 4): Printed by Halliday Lithography Corp., West Hanover,
Mass. / Bound by Book Press, Brattleboro, Vt.

The brown & cream binding with green endpapers also came with later
printings. Judging from the ABE listings, the true first had a red binding,
dark-yellow (mustard, ochre, etc.) endpapers, and red-brown topstain. And,
as you probably suspected, a book originally isued in 1964 would not have
been released at that time with an ISBN.

Thanks, Jon, for info - guess I can safely say it's not a 1st. So the
colophon is only for the printing info? (so much to learn, so little
time - guess I got excited thinking the "About the Author" (6-line)
blurb was the colophon. No, didn't leave anything out of colophon,
only 4 lines - just to complicate it even more.

Actually looking forward to the movie, maybe they won't butcher it too
much, liked Depp in Finding Neverland.
Thnx again
