I received an email from someone who says they have copy number 500/1000 of Burton's original edition of the Nights.
That would be fascinating to see and I am hoping for pictures from the emailer but until then does anyone know where the other 999 copies are? Or some or at least one of them?
That would be interesting to find out.
Post your findings/answers as a reply to this post (you can even post anonymously).
Thanks!
Thanks to a/the famous search engine, I can tell you that one of the copies is with the University of Virginia (see http://books.google.com/books?id=v98NAAAAYAAJ&dq=editions:0yZlBFi7z8CB5fIugqUVL5x&pgis=1 ). The scanned copy at the Internet Archive is from the Trinity College, University of Toronto (see http://www.archive.org/details/arabiantranslat01burtuoft ).
