Since it is 30 Nov., I made the mental leap (probably incorrectly)that the Thread was maybe meant to be for Dec.
Dec. 1837. Spring-Heeled Jack London newspaper notes first pamphlet printed. 2 Pamphlets printed, distributed in Jan/Feb 1838.

Priced at $5, saddle-stitched and published in a print run of 1000 (a second edition of 800 was released subsequently), the book included 218 pages of listings. Interesting...he makes a distinction between the "first edition" and the "second"...the "second" he specifically refers to as #2, NOT the second printing. This very old Heritage listing says this: ""This is one of the original covers of the run of 1,000 guides printed in 1970." comics.ha.com/itm/memorabilia/overstreet-price-guide-1-second-print-cover-only-overstreet-1970-condition-nm-this-is-an-original-cover-for-the-blue/a/808-4780.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515So. The $64,000 question is...what is Overstreet actually referring to? Is he mixed up? Is he confusing second printing and second edition? Was the 1st PRINTING 1,000 and the second PRINTING 800...? Not clear. |

Not clear. My understanding is there's a single First Edition with a first and second printing (blue cover). First Edition, First Print (1,000 copies)  First Edition, Second Print (800 copies)  |

They showed the hell out of it on HBO in 1982 (?) and we watched it every time. Edit: the title of the video can't be right |
