While shopping for a Pre-Anniversary dictionary I’ve acquired a very nice, unwanted copy of the Anniversary Edition dictionary; seller posted the penultimate copyright date, 1916, and not the actual printing date, 1930.
I’m not really concerned about the $2.50 purchase, but now, short of emailing all booksellers to double-check their editions, I think I’ve found a way to distinguish the Pre-Anniversary volumes: could anyone confirm for me that the number of pages in the 1916 edition (whatever the last printing was before Anniversary) is 208—and whether this distinguishes it absolutely from Anniversary editions (which all seem to be 260 pages)?
