Books: Darwin - the Origin of Species?

[Jetl3on]

Anyone know or have this book? Looking to buy this from Amazon, but with up to 10 different front covers, which one is the must have or limited edition print? I appreciate thje contents may be the same, but would like to pass it on at some point and be nice to know I did some research before just opting for the 1st one on the list.

Thx

ETA: Also Anyone know a fun Dictionary for kids they can recommend?

None of the ones on amazon.

Maybe try an antiquarian bookshop for something rather older. (but expect it to be rather more expensive than £12.99).

Buy it and read it but don't expect to buy a 'must have' or collectable edition unless you fancy something on this page.

I'd like a copy of "Cary's Traveller's companion, or, A delineation of the turnpike roads of England and Wales, 1790". I like looking at maps, old maps are even better. The illustrations in this book are wonderful.

A good book but very out of date in terms of scientific evidence, especially with regard to creatures and animals in our deepest oceans.

Holy Moly!!

I wasnt thinking Antique, just how to differentiate from the various hard cover options on sale, they are probably all the same in terms of availability I suspect, just depending on your personal preference.

I initially assumed it was a joke...
