First Editions and First Printings: How to Identify Them

[@eliza9460]

A friend gave me a signed first edition of Tor’s hardcover of Tress,
Which inspired me to look through my other books and oh boy I was surprised that I have a lot of first editions, and a few first printing of those. Very exciting!!!!!! 🎉

This was informational. I found out that I have a 1/1 hardback of both Yumi & the NIghtmare Painter and The Hero of Ages.

I'm doing alright. If my new job would let me start already, I would be a lot less anxious.

I bought a Christopher pike remember me the last story . Its says first printing. But cant see saying first edition? Although the seller claims its a first edition

Thanks for the helpful information, but how might you know if your copy of Farewell to Arms from 1929 is a 1/1 copy?

[@TheSandersonCollector]

I do not know anything about that book. That was before number lines were standardized, so you'd have to consult a guide about that book specifically.

@@TheSandersonCollector When were the number lines standardized?
