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.

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.

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.

1:05 Did he just lick his fingers to turn the page? Firstly, gross. Secondly, and more importantly, this is a page of a signed first edition that he just put a bunch of his saliva combined with grease, dirt and water on, thus warping and damaging that page. Jeez!

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'd buy a book from him. After all, the overwhelming likelihood is that he doesn't usually flip through the books he sells, and he probably has minions to package and sell his books. On the other hand, I would never let him touch any of my books, let alone read them.

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.

It's not always true that if one of the pages of the book has 'First Edition' printed, then it is a first edition book. Sometimes books state "First Edition" but then their number line indicates a later printing.
