Best Editions

I forgot to mention in the 'best books' (GoogleAnswers) discussion to mention the related question of Best Editions. my dad's search for certain editions of The Merck Index; parallel reading of early and revised editions of Delany's  Towers trilogy, diamond man showing me facsimile pages from an early edition of Dana's Mineralogy in Tucson, with better illustrations..

strange analogy between editions and crystal forms, elucidated by collector not of rare minerals, but rare forms. who I'd like to meet
