Publisher's practice

How Doubleday marked its first editions

Doubleday, Doubleday, Doran and Doubleday & Co. first printings normally carry the words "First Edition" on the copyright page, directly under the copyright notice.
Book club copies are the main trap. They are usually smaller and lighter than the trade edition, and their dust jackets have no price on the front flap. A trade jacket with a price is a key check.
Doubleday club jackets were once marked "Book Club Edition" at the foot of the front flap; later ones instead carry a five-digit code on the rear panel.
A book club copy can still print "First Edition" on the copyright page, so the statement alone does not prove a trade first.
Doubleday-made books often carry a small printed code in the gutter near the foot of one of the final pages. For some titles a specific code identifies the first printing (for example P6 on page 199 of Carrie, and N7 rather than N40 in Dangerous Visions), so compare against a title bibliography.

Read the full guide to Doubleday 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.
