Is yours an original 1901 edition, or is it the modern reprint by Scotpress (with commentay by Bob Martin)?
It's an original print. A little 'well-loved' with someone's name written in the front, but worth it anyway.

Arlen:
those are far and away the best of books! I'm a bibliophile, to a degree, and I'll eagerly devour reprints of great works---but there's something special in holding, and reading, an original edition (or early vintage reprint).

I agree completely.
Having a book that you know has been enjoyed by countless others just feels great.
I think that's part of why I enjoy bookcrossing so much.
