Took my father-in-law to the used bookstore to get him a fresh batch of western novels.
I found the book on the right:
It's a 1919 printing of the 5th Edition.
It is substantially different from my 1990 printing of the 23rd Edition.
A bonus is the log tables! The 23rd doesn't have them. In 1990 they expected you to use a calculator.
It's neat to see what something I'm familiar with looked like 105 years ago.
