Publisher's practice

How Knopf;distributed by Random House marked its first editions

  • From about 1933 to 1934 Knopf has marked first printings with the words "First Edition" on the copyright page.
  • A copyright page reading "First and second printings before publication" identifies a second printing, not a first.
  • Before 1933 later printings were marked ("Second Printing" and so on) on the copyright page, while the first printing carried no such statement.
