I like buying old children's books that I enjoyed as a child eg Noel Streatfeild, the Drina books and the Wells books. However, I really only like getting fairly old copies (no later than 1970s) as that is part of the charm as far as I'm concerned. However, there seems to be no way of telling what year the edition you're buying was published in and it just seems to be pot luck whether you get a nice old copy from the 1950s with a lovely nostalgic cover or a cheap 1990s paperback with a photograph of a modern looking child in a tutu on the front.
Is there a way of discovering this before you purchase?
Thanks.
