It’s the first American edition. Found it while browsing a local used bookstore. It seems to be in good shape.

    I’d be careful that the light from a scanner doesn’t damage the paper/ink.

    I’d also be cautious about ‘sealing it’. Do not wrap books in plastic (i.e. hoping to keep it safe) – books have got to breathe.

    Safest bet might be a glass fronted wooden cabinet, away from the floor, and not in direct sunlight.

    Do not store it in a corrugated cardboard box, as that type of cardboard can be fertile for book lice and these love a bit of old paper and glue.

    I’m no expert, though, so there may be more to looking after old books than that.
