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 Hutchinson marked its first editions

  • Hutchinson did not mark its first editions in any way, as it told H. S. Boutell; a dealer's review of Boutell's survey ranks it among the least helpful publishers for collectors.
