Posted January 21, 201015 yr comment_41153 Can anyone help me find out if my book is a 1st edition? Thanks
January 21, 201015 yr comment_41154 If you have a first edition, on one of the pages at the front (usually the very first page with writing on, it but not always) there will be a sequence of about 10 numbers. If it's a first edition the last number will be 1. This is the best way to check. Also, if it's not a first edition it will often say on that page somewhere "first published in 1998 by whatever publisher" or something like that. Occasionally they are very good and do actually write on that page that it is a first edition - but not very often!
January 21, 201015 yr Author comment_41157 Ok I've had a look and both books start with 10 going down to 1, niether say they are first editions.
January 21, 201015 yr comment_41158 Sounds like they are then, congratulations! As I said it won't always say it's a first, only sometimes.
January 21, 201015 yr Author comment_41159 Cool thank you for your help I'm still not sure as they were really quite cheap (under £10 each), They are the lost years volume 1 and 2 hard cover.
