Is the 1st post the 1st print?

I have that one, by the way.

I couldn't say for certain if the first or second entry is the first print. There's simply not enough information to go on. I'll try to compare the texts to see if I can find a change. That's the best indicator when things look alike.

While I am not an expert, I would assume the 2nd post is the 1st print as it lacks the 8301 on the cover, which would indicate it had not been assigned a product code - that is the only visual difference I can tell from looking at your pictures (I don't have any other copies to compare.)

Thanks for the images, though. Always helps to be able to see what one is after. :)
