Howdy All,

Have some more scans to add to this and just confirmed the 2nd edition, 1st printing by buying a second one! Went for $845, ouch! There is a bit of difference between the two, the first one I bought has the cover illustration repeated inside the back cover the second does not. Both copies use the same cover stock. More info to follow...

Futures Bright,

Paul

Adding a large scan to this thread. The back of the book is blank.

Following Paul's excellent research, I would call this item one of the two 'Maine' 2 edition printings as described above. It weighs in at 62g. It is otherwise identical in statistics to Paul's research for the Maine printings.
