Publisher's practice

How Knopf marked its first editions

Before about 1933 Knopf put no first edition statement on first printings; reprints were marked on the copyright page ("Second Printing", "Third Printing" and so on), so a copy with no printing note is the first.
A note reading "First and second printings before publication" means the copy belongs to the second printing, not the first.
From about 1933 or 1934 Knopf first printings state "First Edition" on the copyright page, or "First American Edition" when the book had already appeared abroad.

Read the full guide to Knopf 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.
