Looks about as close as it gets to a true first edition signed by the author.
If there is an edition before it, it would have to be ahead only by months as this is from 1908.

Ratty was a pipe smoker. I suspect Badger was as well. What about Mole and Toad? In my head I see Toad with a hookah.

Mine arrived today along with the first piece of a new collecting obsession. Had to work and haven't got to open either. :(

Not this time. I've become fascinated with stone and crystal skulls. The first is a Picasso Jasper.

Cap'n, just re-checking: yours is also the unabridged edition with everyone smoking pipes in the illustrations? Same as Odobenus'?
I found a copy with the same cover on amazon, but the publishing date is 2003.

Olkofri, sorry I'm late replying -- be careful of those various editions through Amazon. Many have the wrong cover in the image. You definitely want the 1980.
