Identifying the First Edition of a Book. Identifying a first edition is no simple matter. There are thousands of publishers and they use a large variety of methods, which are often changed, to define first editions. The publisher may actually state the words âfirst editionâ or âfirst printingâ on the copyright page. Another common method of identification is the number line â thatâs a line of numbers on the copyright page. Usually, if a one is present in the line then itâs a first edition.
The book is a first edition. The âFirst Editionâ line will be deleted by the publisher for the second printing, leaving the line beginning with â2.â (This was Random Houseâs method prior to 2005.) The book is a second printing. The publisher neglected to remove the âFirst Editionâ designation, by policy or by error.
