Publisher's practice

How G.P. Putnam's Sons marked its first editions

  • Before 1985 Putnam did not as a rule state a first edition. A first printing is recognised by the lack of any later-printing note on the copyright page.
  • For older books, a title-page year that matches the copyright year is a good sign of a first printing.
  • From 1985 Putnam books carry a number row on the copyright page.
  • A number row counts printings: the lowest number left in the row gives the printing, so a row that still includes "1" points to a first printing.
  • 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.
