There are three dust jacket states to look for. "First Edition" is printed on copyright page, "Q37" is printed on page 439. Paste-downs and front and rear end paper in white. The book is quarter bound in black cloth with red boards. Dust jacket price is $7.95/$8.95 (depending on state). "First Edition" is printed on copyright page and "P6" is printed on inner margin of page 199. Paste-downs and front and rear paper color in black. Terms are defined on the right of the text.Ĭarrie:Published in May 1974 by Doubleday. I will go book-by-book, and give you all the information you need. The easiest indicator is if it clearly says "FIRST EDITION" on the copyright page, and while sometimes they do, that is not always the case. If a code is present, all will start with a 1 or 10, except Black House which has the code "2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3". Most follow a numerical code to determine a first edition. The front and rear-end papers are those pieces of thicker paper that are at the very beginning and very end of the book.Ĭopyright page information is pretty straight forward. Paste-downs are simply the pieces of paper that are pasted down to the inside of the book. The colors are important, because, again, not all editions are bound with the same colors. Quarter-bound indicates a book that has cloth closest to the spine, and then boards. A full-bound book will be all cloth without paper boards. Binding Information: Binding information is important because not all editions of a book are bound in the same way.
The code (if there is one) is found on the bottom of the front flap. The dust jacket price can be found in the upper right-hand corner of the front flap of the dust jacket. It is there to protect the book, and if missing, the value of the book is severely diminished. Dust Jacket: The dust jacket is the paper that is wrapped around the book."Book Club Edition" will usually be found on the inside of the dust jacket. If you have a book that seems smaller than others, it very well may be a book club edition. This information is provided because often, Book Club editions of books tend to be smaller than the original. Trim Size: Trim size is basically the dimensions of the book itself.
