Hi Ed:

On the title page of each book it will say which printing it is.

Amazon orders books from us every week. They also keep books in inventory. Since I don't have access to their warehouses where the inventory is kept, I can't be sure that all the first printings have been sold out. It's also our experience that some old printings, no matter what the title, can stay in the "pipeline" for a long time and we have no control over that.

With that being said, we began to ship the second printing of Volume I at the end of June, and the second printing of Volume II began to go out about a month ago.

So it seems to me that there would be very few first printings of Volume I still around. In fact, we are now at the very end of our second printing and should begin to ship the third printing (which is still being printed) in about a week. (By the way, we made no corrections between the second and third printings.)

As for Volume II, my best guest is that it is less than 50/50 that you will get a first printing.

Best wishes,
Mason
