How to spot a first printing

General pointers. Conventions vary by publisher, so check the listing photos.

  1. On the copyright page, look for “First Edition” or “First Printing”.
  2. 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.
  3. The jacket must be the original one: price printed on the front flap, no “book club” mention.
  4. Beware of book club editions: often smaller, with no price on the jacket.
  5. Ask the seller for photos of the copyright page and the jacket flap.
