Publisher First-Edition Guides, A–Z

Every publishing house marks a true first printing differently — a number line here, a stated first there, a colophon, a gutter code, a price on the flap. This index collects all 870 publisher guides on the site, each one documenting the conventions that house actually used, era by era, with the book-club and later-printing tells that trip up sellers. Pick the publisher off your copyright page, or run the title itself through the First-Edition Checker. Identification only, per the house rule: no prices, no appraisals.
