From David DeLucia's "In Memoriam": Demand for Philidor’s L’Analyze de echecs was immediate and within the same year there were two more printings. One book has two pecking birds on the title-page while the other has a cornucopia. Both are highly sought after by collectors even though they are not the “true” first edition.
