Publisher's practice

How Picador marked its first editions

  • Picador copyright pages carry a printer's number line, and the lowest number shows the impression: a first impression keeps the 1, while a line ending at 11, for example, is an eleventh printing.
  • Pan Macmillan's own collecting guidance gives the same rule: a 1 anywhere in the number line usually marks a first printing, and a line without it is a later printing.

Read the full guide to Picador 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.
