Publisher's practice

How Fawcett marked its first editions

Fawcett published in the US, almost entirely in mass-market paperback, so what counts as a first depends on the line.

  • Gold Medal originals (from 1950). Gold Medal published new novels straight into paperback, so the first printing of a Gold Medal original is the first edition. Dealers describe such copies as paperback originals, first printing, and cite the Gold Medal catalogue number (d1793 for Jim Thompson's South of Heaven, for example).
  • Reprints of books first published elsewhere. A Fawcett paperback of a book that first appeared from another publisher is a reprint, not a first edition. Georgette Heyer's Cousin Kate, for example, was first published by The Bodley Head in London in 1968, so the Fawcett Crest paperback is a later edition.
