Publisher's practice

How Grosset & Dunlap marked its first editions

  • A Grosset & Dunlap edition of a book first issued by another publisher is a reprint, not a first edition; most of the firm's general list consists of such reprints.
  • Grosset & Dunlap did not mark first editions, and a reprint can carry no date later than its original copyright year, so a copyright date alone does not prove a first printing: its 1949 reissues of Thornton W. Burgess's Bedtime Stories, for example, are often mistaken for older books because their latest date is from the early 1940s.
