Today in Book Collecting 101, we're talking about identifying First Edition books. John helps us identify the methods various publishers use to signify the first edition of a book, the different types of number lines, and a few noteworthy first editions of certain titles.
this was soooo helpful compared to other videos I have watched on this topic, thank you for sharing, you are awesome!
very helpful , I've watched other videos and they only gave one example which left me with questions. You made it plain, simple and clear
This was amazing! Thank you. Everything else on the internet makes identification soooo confusing. You helped greatly. I'm going to get the guide. Thanks!
Thank you, John. Great help.
Very Helpful. Thank you. Looking forward to more videos.
I love how you destroyed half the books while trying to open them.
That’s hilarious
Thanks for making this video. This is very helpful.
Good stuff....thanks, John!
thanks for showing lots of modern examples
Very helpful. Thank you Sir.
Thank You!
What about 1st editions that have been signed, highlighted or otherwise marked by previous owners? What id a first edition has a damaged dust-jacket but is otherwise in good condition? How do you appraise or value these kinds of books for sale or re-sale? Thanks.
Any example of a book of antiquity?? Perhaps something published in the 19th century? I have the collected plays and sonnets of Shakespeare published in one volume by Collier (1842), nothing to indicate first edition.
You know what is funny thing? In the books published in 2020 or 2021 I do not see any numbers and there is not also mentioned which edition it is. In this case what shall we do?
I have a book from the victorian ere I need help with its from 1820
This has been a very helpful video in my collecting of books.I have also shared it with some of my colleagues to help them.Thank you John for sharing your knowledge with us Bibliophiles lol.
I know I am pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?

@Braden Omar thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it !
@Conrad Xzavier Happy to help =)
What if there is only a 1 rather than 001 in a puffin book??
great info I sell books on ebay. Never knew that first additions were worth more than regular prints
Ive got a book no number line at all
The ones that have no number line but say first American edition are not true first editions as the real first edition was printed in another country.
My book doesn’t have any info at the front of the page
My book I found in my new house was written in 1866 and it's by henry bill and I dont know anything lol
Random House publishers uses the number '2' to denote a 1st edition.
They should make all publishers do the same exact thing. It would just make things easier LOL
Sorry to disagree but first edition first printings aren’t always the most desirable. These days uncorrected proofs often command very much more than first printings where proofs often contain extra material not featured in the final text.
read all books about me
This 'First Edition Criteria' has become ridiculous. First of all, if one of the pages of the book has 'First Edition' printed, then it is a first edition book. Plain and simple.
Secondly, if this nonsense wants to follow the first printing bullshit, then the most valuable book would be the first one ever made. For example, if 100 books were printed for the '1st Ed - 1st Print', then the "True first edition book' would be the one made with the first printed page #1 out of the hundred #1 printed pages; and so forth and so on, with the same logic. This is when it becomes ridiculous: trying to find out which was printed first. You'll never know! (Unless of course you work at the printing and bookbinding factory).
Finally, here's another example of the first print criteria problem. A book has 2 first edition prints: the '1st Ed - 1st Print' has 1000 books, and the '1st Ed - 2nd Print' has 1500 books. Since it's all numerical, the '1st Ed - 1st Print - #987 book" would be closer to the '1st Ed - 2nd Print - #003 book', than to the '1st Ed - 1st Print - #001 book".
All of this to be considered in terms of the 'what was really printed first' paradox.
That's kinda what I thought. I've always heard a "true" First Ed is the First Ed First Print. So it could have FIRST EDITION in big bold type, but if the number lines lowest number isn't 1, that means it isn't a "true" first edition.
For a book collector he doesn't handle the books carefully. Wouldn't buy a book from him.
