You certainly have a lot of interesting anecdotes. Thanks for sharing. With only two thousand printings it seems unlikely that it would be a first edition. He indicated that the number of dots around the border were significant, and that the book was from the library of an old (late) professor at Queens (read old money ivy league type). I mentioned you to the fellow and the first thing he said was "it's not for sale" -- which I thought a little rude since I said nothing about buying or selling. Anyway he said he's keeping it for his retirement so he at least is convinced of its value.
