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.
Open your book, and look at the copyright page on the back of the title page. Modern books' title pages tell you what year the book was published and in which edition. Some include information such as the publisher and city where the book was published. Books published from 1970 on include an International Standard Book Number, ISBN.
