Oh I had a 1965 edition, but someone "borrowed" it and never brought it back. I have since acquired the 1972 edition in good shape, but there was a 1959 edition. That would be a good one to have in the library.

I was fortunate to be able to purloin a pristine (no stain spills) copy of the third edition (1972) from the wreckage of an old histology lab about 20 years ago. Indeed, Patsy Ruegg!
