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.
gibsontool,
that was a bargain !
there will be a few people saying; wouldof, couldof & shouldof !
you will enjoy it.

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.)
