I was browsing a second hand book store and stumbled upon a 1968 facsimile of the 1768 1st edition Encyclopaedia Brittanica.
I am aware that a facsimile is an exact replica, but I still assumed that the publisher would provide some small hint somewhere that it was not the original but was unable to find one.
Other than the obvious sensual differences the naturally aged original has to the faux aged facsimile is anyone aware of any difference (intended or not) by the publisher?
