There are now many editions of the series in the catalogue. Question about part 1 Arendsoog that I can't figure out.

See original title:

https://www.lastdodo.nl/nl/areas/1775493-arendsoog

According to the catalog, the 2nd edition (also the 1st revised front cover illustration) is the green color, see 4147975 , from the 3rd edition blue until about 1954 when the dust jackets came into use.

It is now about 17044 . Also introduced as 2nd edition. With 3 variants of front covers. Double ? But yes then 3rd scan I do not see in the catalog.

I hope someone knows

Harry J

For what it's worth I have renamed 17044 in 5th edition thin edition based on overview of 1st to 12th edition. The 2nd edition therefore has an illustration green cover, up to and including the 12 th editions the same illustration blue color cover and apparently a 5th edition floats through without an illustrated cover.

If it's still not right, someone can change it.

Just a little comment

There is an Eagle Eye site that has visualized the printings.

I once made a printout of it and I consult it every now and then to make adjustments in Lastdodo

I then look at the 5 edition and there are 2 of them

5 A

Print 212 pages June 1949

3 titles are mentioned in the front of the book!

[probably Eagle Eye White Feather and the mystery of the Musquito Valley (published Apr 1949)]

that includes 212 pages

the other 5 B

year not filled in 176 page but the 3 titles

the real differences can be recognized by the back

(And then we run into the 3 scans at Lasdodo)

the first: with the 212 pag. (spine 12 brown vertical lines and book 30 illustrations

second: 176 p. Spine 4 brown vertical lines 30 illustrations

Starting at the 8th edition, 9 illustrations and 176 pages are

this is what i can watch

Only in this case, you can of course also consult collectors who own the book!

I asked a collector about the item and whether he can post the scans

Wait and see

Dear Dick,

Thanks again for your help! Needless to say, I am concerned that in the catalog at 17044 3 covers were entered. Ergo 3 books. That was confusing. The green 2nd edition and the blue 3rd edition were already included in the catalog. Instead of rejecting the entry of 17044 I chose to keep scan 3 as the "5th edition". It was not yet in the catalog. Although I am only an "expert" of the later editions with dust jackets, I cannot imagine that there is a 1949/50 edition without a front cover illustration, while all other early editions of volume 1 to the 12th edition do. So a title page of that 5th edition is certainly welcome, as well as those variants that you mention in combination with front and back covers. . Jilles had also sent me a photo overview of the prints. So if your collector is going to supplement something in terms of scans, please go to the right book. And any other edition that is not yet in the catalog is of course welcome!
