How to spot a first printing
General pointers. Conventions vary by publisher, so check the listing photos.
- On the copyright page, look for “First Edition” or “First Printing”.
- Read the number line (e.g. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1): the lowest number shows the printing. If the “1” is there, it is a first printing.
- The jacket must be the original one: price printed on the front flap, no “book club” mention.
- Beware of book club editions: often smaller, with no price on the jacket.
- Ask the seller for photos of the copyright page and the jacket flap.
