It seems that cost-wise it makes more sense to buy this book, than to download/print it.

But the choices apparently are endless!
practic - Google Search ... e&ie=UTF-8
Has anyone already bought a reprint? as noted, there is a surprisingly wide range of options in covers, possibly which edition, format; + where it comes from. (hardbound repro from India, e.g.)
1.) anyone already bought it, from where, which version?
2.) does anyone see or know of a substantive difference between original editions? as far as narrowing repros down by that factor. Seeing editions from 1826 to 1860's. I presume later is better in terms of pictures? Or not
3.) anyone ordered books from a non-euro coutry? Maybe particularly India? Advice or comments?
Waiting for reply from vendor of original, does anyone else know what size it was? (Is repro similar or smaller?)
PS, regarding original size, got this reply from a rare book vendor:
"Hi Stephen, the books measures 9 inches wide by 11 tall. The plates have a 1-inch border along the margins, but are otherwise full size."
One question answered!
Thanks!
