Publisher's practice

How Jove marked its first editions

Jove copyright pages carry a dated line such as "First Jove edition published November 1980". The line stays on later printings, so it dates the first Jove edition, not the copy in hand.
Books issued from 1977 to 1979, while Harcourt Brace Jovanovich owned the list, are styled "Jove/HBJ".
By 1980 Jove copyright pages carry a number row (10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1). The lowest number shown is the printing, so a first printing has the 1.
The Funhouse (1980) was also issued as a 214-page hardback book club edition; that is a later edition, not the Jove first.

Read the full guide to Jove first editions, decade by decade, and check your copy's copyright page against it. Our number line decoder reads the printing from the row of numbers.
