- Abstract
- en_US This book is internally identical with the Stella Books first edition I have listed under the same date. After years of not finding a first edition, I found two in a little over a year. See my comments there. This book adds advertisements for The Cranford Series on the last few pages, where the other edition had advertisements for The New Cranford Series. And as far as I can tell, this book in the Cranford series cost 6s. while in the other book it cost 3s.6d. In The New Cranford Series. The chief difference between the two books lies in the gold image of FC embossed on the deep green cover here and in the gold image of FS embossed on the spine. The source for the former is on 21; the latter seems to be a new image not contained in either the frontispiece or on 48-51. Originally sold by Lipman, Wolfe, & Co. in Portland, OR. This is a real star of a book!
