Q: hello, i was on your website and because i was researching a book that i have. My aunt’s mother in law was a school teacher back in the early 1900s and she had a Peter Rabbit book from back when she was a teacher. I’ll send you a picture of it, any help figuring out what edition it is would be great!

A: Take a look here: http://henryaltemus.com/peter_rabbit/peterrabbit.htm

You can see your book pictured as a Second Edition (second format). The earlier second edition book has the same picture on the cover but is green. This book was first published between 1908 and 1912. It was reprinted until 1917 when the third Altemus edition of The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published.
