It being a Copyright 2012 doesn't mean it's First Edition. It has to actually say First Edition. Is there a way to take a picture of the Copyright Page, so we can see where it says First Edition please? I ask, cause I collect these books.
OMG--these are free books for crying out loud. Here is exactly what the pages say in each book: "The characters and events in this book are fictitous.

Thank you. That means it's not a First Edition for CRYING OUT LOUD. It may be free, but I have this book already and I am looking for the FIRST EDITION FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. I collect this books and I WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M BIDDING ON. If you can't handle people asking you question about it and you answering them the right way, and no the right way was not what you put above, then maybe you don't need to be on this site. I don't care what your rating is. If I bid on something or I want to bid on something, be prepared to answer questions as I like to know what it is that I am getting and if it is what I am looking for.
Also if you need to know the difference in what a First Edition book is and what one isn't, I'll be more than happy to show you a picture of a copyright page that says First Edition and a page of one that isn't.
I guess that you don't want as many credits as possible, since you can't seem to understand how to answer a simple question the proper way. When I bid on his books, I bid HIGH, VERY HIGH. Your loss, you could have gotten a ton of credits. What a loss for you.
