Regarding the edition: the books show no additional printings on the copyright page as called for.

Auzoux's Papier-Mache Anatomical Models Bock-Steger Models Painted in Natural Colors Human Skeletons 1886 These extensively illustrated and annotated catalogues provide the best available record of the widest range of scientific optical artistic and photographic instruments available during the latter part of the 19th century. All of the original Queen and Company catalogs are rare on the market. Few university libraries or museums own the complete range of catalogues reprinted in this collection and the condition of many of the originals has now badly deteriorated. The Norman Publishing edition printed on acid-free paper with its definitive introduction by Deborah Jean Warner is a comprehensive research tool for the history of 19th-century scientific and medical technology." the publisher.

The second Philip Trent mystery -- published 23 years after the first "Trent's Last Case" which by then was an acknowledged classic of the genre. Per Charles Shibuk in Reilly's "Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers": The book "starts with the discovery of an elderly philanthropist found shot in the back in his bedroom and the only clue points staight to Philip Trent" who had earlier painted the man's portrait.
