Description: *NOTE* FOR ACTUAL BOOK CONDITION (WEAR & TEAR) SEE AND READ THE "CONDITION" SECTION OF THIS AUCTION THE FIRST PRINTING OF THIS BOOK WAS IN 1939, THIS BOOK IS FROM THE 1958 PRINTING. ALL DR. SUESS BOOKS PRINTED IN THE FIRST 28 YEARS ARE FIRST EDITIONS. A 1ST "EDTION" JUST MEANS THAT THE PUBLISHERS CAN MAKE AS MANY "PRINTINGS" AS THEY WANT FOR 28 YEARS (PATENT) WITHOUT CHANGING THE CONTEXT OF THE BOOK, EVEN THE DATES STAY THE SAME. SOME BOOKS HAD 2-3 "PRINTINGS" PER YEAR DEPENDING ON THE DEMAND. MOST "PRINTINGS" CONSISTED OF 10-50,000 BOOKS PER "PRINTIING". IN MOST CIRCUMSTANCES, THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EACH "PRINTING" IS THE DUST COVERS OR THE BOOK COVERS THEMSELVES THAT CAN SHOW THE ACTUAL YEAR OF THE BOOK. SOME BOOKS HAVE A LIST OF OTHER BOOKS ON THE BACK. RESEARCH THE YEAR OF LAST BOOK ON THE LIST AND THAT WILL TELL YOU IT WAS PRINTED BETWEEN THAT YEAR AND THE YEAR OF THE NEXT BOOK WRITTEN. SOME BOOKS HAVE A "NUMBER LINE" AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COPYRIGHT PAGE WHICH TELLS YOU WHICH PRINTING IT IS, EXAMPLE: 1234567890 MEANS 1ST PRINTING, 34567890 MEANS 3RD PRINTING. BOOK CLUB EDTIONS HAVE 2 LINES A NUMBER AND AN ALPHABET LINE. EX: ABCDEFGH, 1234567890 MEANS 1ST PRINTING OF BOOK CLUB EDTION--NOT STORE SOLD "TRADE" EDTIONS, (THEY CAME OUT BEFORE BOOK CLUBS), CDEFGH, 34567890 MEANS 30+3=33RD PRINTING. SERIOUS COLLECTORS AND INVESTORS ONLY WANT THE STORE SOLD BOOKS, NOT BOOK CLUB EDITIONS. A BOOK CLUB EDITION IS NEVER CONSIDERED A 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINTING.
