1- This sounds like a MUST have no matter what other editions one already
has.

2- Wasn't the first copy bound, according to Webster, November 26th (not
6th)?

Cheers,
Bob


Twain's original dedication, which was never printed in any
edition of the novel until it was inserted in the "Foreword" to the 2001
_Library_ edition, is accompanied by the information that it was tipped
into the first bound copy of _Huckleberry Finn_ which is hand dated
November 6, 1884 by publisher Charles Webster--a landmark date in the
book's production.
