Market value

What decides the price

  • It is the first edition, which is the one collectors want.
  • 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 HarperPerennial marked its first editions

  • Paperback imprint: Harper Perennial publishes paperbacks, so a Perennial copy of a book first issued elsewhere is a later edition (Sylvia Plath's Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams, for instance, was first published by Faber and Faber in 1977). Check where and when the work first appeared before treating a Perennial copy as a first.
