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 Penguin marked its first editions

  • Penguin's American hardbacks are published under the Viking imprint, which joined Penguin in 1975. The copyright page of a first edition states "First published in [year] by Viking Penguin" (before the merger, "by The Viking Press") and lists no later printing.
  • Where a Viking Penguin book carries a number row, the lowest number shown is the printing, so a first printing has the 1.

Read the full guide to Penguin 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.
