Looking for recommendations/direction for a trustworthy place to buy a hardcover edition of this classic. I am weary to buy online from an Etsy or Amazon without being able to see the condition of the book. Any suggestions from the trustworthy OB?

Thanks in advance!

Don't know if they'll have exactly what you want, but I've had some good fortune buying from www.abebooks.com.

That site popped up, but I hadn't heard of them before. I'll give them a look.

I would bet Booked Up in Archer City would have one.

Are these hard to come by? Are they not producing new ones? Guess I might need to lock mine up somewhere.

They closed and iirc Chip Gaines bought the buildings.

I read the series on kindle. Need to pick up hard copies before the cancel culture gets them banned.

Will look on eBay.

I have used Alibris many times to buy used books with good results.

I have used abe books before. Reputable people.

Ebay is a good source also.

Check the small town antique stores that have book sections. I found this hardcover edition in 2004 at a tiny store in Salado. Paid $20 for it.

I don't understand the printer's code well enough to say that it is a first edition, but it has the well documented typographic error on page 621 that the early editions seemingly all had.

It is my bookshelf edition; I keep a paperback edition for the times I indulge in a reread of the book.

That's the one I have.

I got a 1st edition towards the end of last year on eBay. It hits all the markers as far as I can tell from all the research I did before hand.

I figured that if I'm ever going to own a 1st edition, might as well make it the greatest novel ever written.

Went with Claud!'s advice and picked up a first edition from Abe Books. Shipping now and will update on arrival in regards to quality. Thanks to all for the replies. I will definitely be on the lookout at thrift shops going forward.
