[Genealib] Maryland Women

[MPL Genealogy]

A few years ago I was examining a "duplicate" volume of a state history
that was full of biographical sketches.  Inadvertently, I noticed that
the publication date was off by two years.  When I examined the two
copies of that volume, I found that there were sketches in both that
were not in the other volume.  Apparently un-noticed by historians for
decades, the second printing dropped some sketches and added others
without any indication of the changes.  I would call this a "cataloger's
nightmare."  We called the second printing "Vol. 2A."

We are trying to catalog a set of books and having a difficult time
determining which volume is which. We have:
 
Maryland Women (1931-1942) 444 pages v.1?  and 479 pages v.2?
 
We tried worldcat.org and most libraries do not list the number of pages
for each volume. Does anyone have the three volume set and can tell me
how many pages are in the 3rd volume --- and if I have the volumes
marked correctly?
 
Confused in Vero!
