Thanks, Roy and Harry for the clarification.

So, Harry, the LAST one in the "Jr." series is the most valuable one and was published in 1971?

I'm a book collector, so I understand many of the issues that make books valuable. Did the last book in the series have a substantially lower print run? Or were many of them purchased by libraries? Or?

When I was working at a bookstore about 20 years ago, we liked to joke around about how INCREDIBLE it would be to find a Second Edition printing of a Stephen King novel! All the remainders seemed to be Firsts.
