- Look for volume number some OAHSPE are printed in Multiple Volumes.
- Don’t be fooled by a $900 price tag. Most book sellers that say they have the original 1882 are in fact selling a reprint from the 1960s.
- If a seller is asking more the $40 by it form some one else.
Most of the so-called First Edison OAHSPE 1882 are much later reprints.
