Publisher's practice

How HarperCollins marked its first editions

  • Harper & Brothers marked first editions with the words "First Edition" on the copyright page, a custom the firm confirmed in 1947.
  • From 1912 Harper & Brothers also printed a two-letter code on the copyright page, one letter for the month and one for the year of printing (M stands for 1912).
  • Where a printing line appears on the copyright page, the lowest number shows the printing, whatever order the numbers run in; a line with a 1 normally indicates a first printing.
  • Book club editions are a common trap: their jackets usually carry no price on the front flap, so a priced jacket is one of the first things to check.
