Market value

What decides the price

It is the first UK edition; the true first was published elsewhere.
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 Methuen marked its first editions

Methuen used a consistent system from 1905: a first edition carries "First Published in" with the year on the reverse of the title page, and each reprint adds a further line below it.

Read the full guide to Methuen 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.
