Publisher's practice

How Random House marked its first editions

Random House marks the first printing with the words "First Edition" on the copyright page; the firm stated this policy in 1947.
On later books the number row on a first printing often starts at 2 rather than 1, with "First Edition" standing in for the missing 1 (for example "First Edition / 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"); a row starting at 2 without the statement is a second printing.
Book club editions are a common trap: their jackets usually carry no price on the front flap, so a priced jacket is one of the first things to check.

Read the full guide to Random House 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.
