Model a instruction book

HI;

My question is this I just bought a original owners manual for the late 31's June - December Cars and Trucks, but when I got the book in the mail on the last page it says form No.1940.

But in the front of the book it says copyrighted 1931 by Ford Motor Company all rights reserved, so do I have a original book here or not as I have never seen a original book before as I just found this one in fairly good shape.

With the pages not all ripped up and no writing on them either or any kind of marks what's so ever on any page, the book just has a stain mark on the outside of the front cover other then that the book is perfect.

Let me know Reggiedog
