I've actually had this hardcover book for years but only recently found out it was worth anything, I got it about 10 years ago in middle school when the library would permanently pull books and let students have them. I love mushrooms and took it and continued to keep it solely because of the cover. From what I can find so far is-my copy is a second printing which is found by the BCDE marking on the last page. - The hard cover Library editions were claimed to be larger than normal and printed on higher quality paper.- There's claims of the book being pulled shortly after it being printed because of it being controversial, but I also read that the book went through 4 printings, so I'm not really sure.-Claims of the publisher once denied the book ever existing. I thought the book I had was in pretty terrible condition there's pen and ink in the book from the library and 2-3 marks on the first couple of pages from students, but from what pictures I can find of the paperback versions they're all pretty beat up and but listed as "Excellent", I can't find much of anything on the hardcover versions and what conditions are considered excellent, poor etc.
