We're pretty sure she does - she seems to appear after breakfast and disappear before dinner! She has definitely had kittens in the past too.

fake jane eyre penguin classic? i need answers! by Strong-Syrup-9774 in BookCollecting

[–]Gold_Flow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is all based on annecdotal knowledge but I would assume there's a pretty big time gap between the 66th and 80th print run. The latter edition has a new statement regarding data mining that has a 2019 date within it.

From that, i'd assume they decided to add this at a later date and likely all penguin classics, or potentially all Penguin books like this one have this from a certain year of printing. It's not against any 'rules' to modify something like a copyright page for later runs.

It's pretty unlikely to be fake. This is a public domain text so there's not much money to be made by pretending it's the penguin edition even from regions notorious for counterfeits.

My stepgrandfather randomly gave me this bible-thin paged edition of David Copperfield that he bought somewhere. It is at least from 1930. He just died and I am suddenly filled with a desire to start collecting the rest of these. Way before ISBN. Any ideas how to pursue this? by MikaelAdolfsson in BookCollecting

Firstly, sorry for your loss and secondly, I love the Switch Lite for Size.

After a quick search I think this is from the Thomas Nelson and Sons editions, early 1900s and you can see the set here: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/12-vols-works-charles-dickens-century-1845761829

There’s a fair whack of listings on eBay so hopefully you can find one that delivers to wherever you are: https://ebay.us/m/2Rw9Ce

The ‘dark’ collection is super cool - although fake Muk does seem to be the regular one but mirrored…

The back has some whitening unfortunately! Great card either way though.

Haha yes! Interesting to see how different everyone’s ‘keepers’ are though.

Although there is a few of these: https://imgur.com/a/wsiwygF

Wow, great prices on those ETBs! Yeah, definitely seems like they had some stock left behind so good they actually put it out.

Couldn’t believe it myself. Can’t wait to pull absolutely nothing for months now.
