In this case, to me there are some suspect circumstances. The copyright year that is mentioned in the 1979 edition is strange, because usually such copyright notice mentions the very first publication year. The number of pages of the 1969 edition would be the exact same number as that of the 1979 edition, from a different publisher and no doubt a different lay-out. Anyway, not sure, just wary. --[[User:Sugit|Sugit]] ([[User talk:Sugit|talk]]) 07:05, 3 November 2015 (UTC) | In this case, to me there are some suspect circumstances.

I guess the following question from this exchange is: has anyone seen the 1969 version? does anyone have a 1969 version? are there any pictures anywhere of its cover? does anyone know who might be contacted to find out if they have this version? This whole thing has me intrigued. [[User:Swamisitar|Swamisitar]] ([[User talk:Swamisitar|talk]]) 17:27, 7 November 2015 (UTC) | |||

book cover for first edition?
The image for the book cover concerning the 1969 edition seems to be absent. Swamisitar (talk) 03:12, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
This is not uncommon, there is no cover illustration available. Also happens when there is only "rumours" of an edition having existed. In this case there seems to be more, as details of pages and edition notes have been filled out. But the "copyright 1979" that is stated in the 1979 edition suggests that was the first one. --Sugit (talk) 07:27, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
Are you suggesting that there might not actually be a 1969 edition? Swamisitar (talk) 04:50, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
"Also happens when there is only 'rumours'" was a general remark: there have been quit some cases like that. But in this case there seems to be more evidence that there actually was a 1969 edition, notably the mention of details like page numbers and the entry in the OshoSourceBook, which is usually relyable. Still, one always has to be wary of seemingly independent sources that are in fact referring to just one erroneous source.
In this case, to me there are some suspect circumstances. The copyright year that is mentioned in the 1979 edition is strange, because usually such copyright notice mentions the very first publication year. The number of pages of the 1969 edition would be the exact same number as that of the 1979 edition, from a different publisher and no doubt a different lay-out. Anyway, not sure, just wary. --Sugit (talk) 07:05, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
