Brilliant find to add to the first Brian. Nice mini set. It is a first ediition.
I know the first book you found had many print runs - I have seen up to the 7th in charity shops.
Most 1st editions are easy to identify as they will have a number line like 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 or 1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2. With these you are looking to see the 1 is present. If the 1 or other numbers are missing, the lowest number shown is the current edition.
There are many variations, and like yours some do not have a number line, but had it been a later impression, it would more than likely show a later impression printing reference.
Here's a page that explains in more detail -
