Carol Kaye Book: Anyone else have a copy?

I just bought a used copy Carol Kaye's book Jazz Improv For Bass. Anyone else here have a copy of this book?

Ok, great. Mine is dated 1999, 2005.

Mine has a mixture of typeset fingerings (numerals 1 - 4) plus tiny hand-scribbled fingerings. I can't tell if the scribbled ones were added (in ink) by the previous owner of the book, or by Carol.

There's also some tiny scribbled position notes, e.g. "10 fr" or "5 fr".

Does your copy have these hand scribbled numerals?

Mine is dated 1999 only.

In certain spots it has only the typeset fingerings. The only place I see a position indication is on the Rhythm Changes exercise #2 on my page 37 - 5th line, last measure on the D natural quarter note.

otherwise, there's no handwritten fingerings or indications.
 
Update:

Reconsidering the evidence, I feel there's some chance Carol herself added hand-scribbled fingerings and position notes. The book was autographed and personalized to "Mary" (thumbnail below). It's possible (not to say likely) that Carol added some annotations (evident below) for "Mary". (Did Carol teach privately?)
