I have a pattern book that is copyrighted 1935, but it is a 3rd edition. Is there any way to find out WHEN it was printed? Also, I'm going to list it in the crochet category, but what would be a good collectible category to double list it in?

Biz - the result of most research shows that most people pay no attention to catagories.

Thanks, Fenix. I'm going to concentrate on the title more. But I still don't know when it was printed. Perhaps I shouldn't worry about that and just go right into the description and history.

Don't waste your money. You would be better off not listing in any catagory at all (if it were possible). All you are doing is lining eBay's pockets with extra listing fees that simply don't increase sales.

I wouldn't worry about print date Biz - just ge a good title and load up the description with the kind of info you would want to know if you were the buyer.

The date is usually printed somewhere in the book,if not ,cant you call the publisher?
The value of a third edition is really in the content,not its age.
You can try AMZN ,books without ISBN numbers are often found in ZSHOP section.

Put "1930s" in the title somewhere and leave it at that. And if you really want to list it in a second category, consider either Collectibles/Vintage Sewing or Books/Crafts (or whatever they call it these days).
