LOL Cool history you have for the book. 1920's WOW!!! Mine doesn't have a date either. the version that I added to my goodreads shelf is a kindel version. That is not mine of course but it matched the books translator I did read a bit of the first chapter. Interesting. . Hi Bobbie,

The name of the book has piqued my curiosity lol As if you'd ever run out of books! ;) Your new nickname, eh? haha Joni A.K.A. Romance Junkie...Taaa Daaaa! :) Actually, I've been picking my brain to try and remember where I purchased it; I have a feeling that I picked it up at a rummage sale about 13 years ago. It’s been with me a long time and I just love it!! The text looks like it was stamped onto the page as apposed to more traditional method of printing presses but I can't find a date on it...someone must have torn the page out long before the Robinhood book came into my possession. :( My copy is in <strong>much better</strong> shape then this one: http://www.biblio.com/books/71647377.html it has a "Small dent to top edge of front board, previous owner's inscription penned on inside front cover, DJ missing lower half of spine panel with both front and rear panels detached" Yikes!!! It says it was published in 1920...so mine probably was too!! Isn't that cool?? :) Hi Joni,

Right now I just don't have the space. A friend and I visited a used book store we saw in passing on our camping trip.
