Publisher's practice

How New Directions marked its first editions

  • In its early years New Directions was not consistent about stating a first edition or marking later printings, so the copyright page alone may not settle a copy.
  • Binding variants can help separate printings, since first-edition sheets were sometimes bound up later; check an author bibliography for early titles.
  • Book club copies (a general tell for US trade houses; no mark specific to this house was found): a jacket flap with no printed price is the commonest sign, though a printed price does not on its own rule out a club copy. Also look for a small blind stamp, such as a dot or square, pressed into the rear board, and for a book that is smaller and more cheaply made than the trade edition.
