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.

Publisher's practice

How Crown marked its first editions

Before the 1970s Crown carried no first-edition statement but numbered or noted later printings on the copyright page, so a pre-1970s Crown book with no printing note is normally a first printing.

Read the full guide to Crown 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.
