I picked this up at a ts today for $2, I believe it is the 1st edition and 2nd printing? Any help would be appreciated. Seems to be worth $10-30.

I'm changing this I thought it was a soft cover...duh. OK it looks like your right at least $10 even tho some $5 ones didn't sell. There are ones on ABE Books listed for stupid high prices & eBay ones are all over the place but I'm not reading the ads to see what printing # they are if it's not in the title. Oh and I'm not sure if that 2 thru 10 means 1st printing, 2nd printing or 10th printing from how its written. Some books are misleading trying to decipher that code.

Nice buy. Thanks for sharing...

You're reading it correctly, it's a second printing of the book. In that condition (with markings and creasings on the cover), I would guess that your closer to the 10 vs the 30 although, with the right buyer, anything is possible.
