    It’s the First Edition. Should have a lot of blue-highlighted woodcut illustrations of the boolits in the loading sections.

    Actually, is about ~half jacketed data, so I was a little off re "CB manual". :-/

    Edit: not "half-jacket", but the reloading data is about ~half for cast, ~half for jacketed.

    my first edition page 1 along with statement on page 9 by Charles E Lyman 3rd explaining how this first edition was planned + who contributed to it - it does not have any half jacket loads listed in it -

    That's Lyman #41 , the 1959 loading manual. It has always been one of my favorites along with #45 , the 1970 manual.
