What decides the price
  • It is the first edition, which is the one collectors want.
  • The original dust jacket carries much of the price for a book of this age; its condition matters as much as the book's.
  • Condition is graded separately for book and jacket, from Fine down to Poor.

Publisher's practice

How Allen & Unwin marked its first editions

  • First-impression jackets of The Hobbit (1937) carry a hand correction on the rear flap, where the misspelling "Dodgeson" (for Dodgson, Lewis Carroll's real name) was amended in ink by the publishers.
