Not as far back in Times as you might think

Readers of the Times on New Year's Dayreceived a 225th anniversary reprint of the paper's first edition, from back when it was called the Daily Universal Register and the front page began with theatre listings. Very attentive readers, however, may have noticed that this was not exactly what came with the paper. The reproduced back page carries an additional credit line – "REPRINTED BY THE TIMES PUBLISHING CO. LTD., 1964". So it's only a 54th anniversary edition. But the latest version adds enlightening annotations (in undercutting rivals' cover price by a halfpenny, we're told, publisher John Walter was "founding a fine tradition"), and is well worth hunting out.
