[QUOTE="trashmagnet, post: 61547, member: 1080"] dwt if that is a 1869 version you got a bargain for sure, and I'm sure the Melbourne book museum would offer you a lot more than that for it as there copy is in bad condition. all the 1869 ones I have seen have a dark coloured cover but hopefully I'm wrong and you have one. that would be great to have a part of history like that. have a look inside the front cover and see if any pages have been removed as the later version is an exact copy of the first one apart from a couple of pages in the front before the page you took a pic of with the 1869 date on it, maybe someone removed them to sell it to your mate as an original copy cause with out these pages it would look like an old one apart from the colour of the cover. hope you got an original one mate that would be great. I had a look at mine and it has 1/1000 written in grey lead inside the front hard cover. regards tm [/QUOTE]
