Publisher's practice

How Scribner marked its first editions

  • From about 1930 Scribner marked first printings with a capital "A" on the copyright page, beneath the copyright notice, and removed it from second and later printings. A Scribner catalogue note gives the start as 1929, while the firm's 1947 statement to H. S. Boutell says 1930.
