I just saw this listing on eBay for a copy of Schulz's book. I'm not sure which version it is but the starting price is low. Have at it I already have one.

There are different versions??
-
Yes the original and revised, Inside Preface bottom of page on the right hand side of the page states; Revised Edition Copyright 1992.
-
Ah, okay thanks. Looks like mine is a copyright 1989 version. Were there many changes to the revised version?
-
I didn't know there were two editions either. Had to go look at mine and it is also a 1989. I wonder how many of each there were?

I'll let Stan jump in on the details.
-
I don't know how many copies were in the first printing. When that stock was getting low, the folks re-arranged the last four pages, increasing the number of images from 1088 to 1105. A couple of images at the end were re-numbered but almost all the revision was new material. The only change in the first 88 pages was to insert #854 1/2 COES KEY MODEL on pg. 67 -- mom had forgotten it -- I think they may have had something come up that interrupted them for a while.
The revision was dated 1992 and all subsequent printings were the same. One time mom told me that altogether they'd sold about 3,000 copies.
-
Thanks much for the info Stan!
-
Thanks Stan, the seller says it is the revised edition.
-
It sold for $36.22. I hope somebody here got it. That was a good price.

I was the winning bidder on the book, I thought at first I paid a bit too much but I've been looking for one for quite a while and there hasn't been much available so I'm OK with what I paid.
-
You got a good deal, I'm surprised it went that low.
-

Thanks guys, I feeling better about how much I paid when I see your comments. I will not see it for a while, I live in northern British Columbia so to save on shipping costs I get items shipped to my sons place in Oregon and our next trip down is not until the middle of October. It's like Christmas when I get there.
-
That is a good deal on that book.
-
Yes, congrats. You will enjoy having it.
-
Sorry to re-open up an old discussion, but has anyone seen a Schulz book for-sale recently? My wife wants to get me a copy for Christmas this year and I would REALLY like to help her find it...
Thanks,
William

Took a look at that listing. 1085 photos means it is a copy of the first printing. 2nd edition copies have 1107 (the last number is 1106 but there is also an 854 1/2 for the Coes key Model mom accidentally left out of the 1st printing.)
