Identifying a First printing of the Hetzel, November 1871
Vingt Mille Lieues sous le mers
.
Collection Andrew Nash
If a book has ALL he BELOW "Errors", especially "Champignons", that would identify a true 1st Printing of Vingt Mille Lieues from November 1871. It is said that "Champignons" was corrected in the 2nd month of printing, and other errors, were also slowly changed, so you may find a book with "some" of the errors and not others, as they were already corrected.
