Publisher's practice

How Random House marked its first editions

Random House's British group published under its imprint names (Jonathan Cape, Chatto & Windus, Hutchinson, Century, William Heinemann, Ebury and others), and its books are identified the British way, by a complete number line.

  • On books from the 1990s and 2000s, a first impression from a Random House UK imprint has a number line that includes the 1, set as 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2. If the 1 is there, it is the first impression.
  • Each reprint loses the lowest figure: the 1 goes at the first reprint, the 2 at the next, and so on.
  • Dating help: the British company changed its name from Random House UK Limited to The Random House Group Limited in 1999, so the publisher line on the copyright page points to before or after that year.

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.
