Market value

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 Little, Brown marked its first editions

  • Before the 1930s Little, Brown generally did not mark its first editions.
  • From the 1930s a first printing typically carries a single line on the copyright page giving the month and year of first publication; each reprint adds a further dated line, so a copy with only one publication line is the one to look for.
  • Books from the 1940s onwards often state "First Edition" on the copyright page; the 1951 first of The Catcher in the Rye is an example.

Read the full guide to Little, Brown 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.
