Question: If a book is a first edition!?
would it say so somewhere on the book!? of not, how does one know which edition a book is!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
First editions usually only have the copyright date in it!. If it is a latter edition, it always has a "first edition published ###"!.

The easiest way to find if it is a first edition is to search for information of the book on the internet!. When you find when the book was first published, you compare it to the publication date in your book and compare the two!. If the dates match, it is most likely a first edition!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In the front of the book, near where the copyright date is, it should say what printing the book is from!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
