Series 132 Mother Stories Series

Today I am adding new dust jacket pictures of Mother Nature Stories.

Determining the edition of this book can be done rather easily.

First note that the dust jacket is the brown uncoated type. This indicates a pre-1915 printing.

The first edition of this volume lists only six books on the reverse of the jacket. This book lists 10 titles (1909-1915). The third printing has a white coated jacket (post-1915). Thus this book is from the second printing.

Without the dust jacket determining the edition is much more difficult. The first edition lists only six books in the Mother Stories whereas the later editions list ten titles. The earlier books show a 50 cent price whereas the later books have $1.00 listed.
