- As a book collector I've done my share of nosing around dusty old stores and
- flea markets. One thing I've noticed is that _Treasure Island_ seems to be the
- most published book in the last hundred years. It's everywhere I look!
-
- I collect old (pre 1930) editions of the classics so I'd like to get a copy of
- it eventually; but I'd prefer to get one from a year that it wasn't so mass
- produced.
-
- I'm not talking 1st edition, but I would perfer an elderly copy.
-
- Can someone suggest a good year to aim for?
