A First Edition can have many printings but only the First Printing is the True First Edition . Publishers all use slightly different methods but most use a number line to define which printing, state "First Published in" with no line number or will state "First Edition" and list no line number. With only one exception the line numbers will all include a " 1 " for the True First Printing hence a True First Edition . Random House and it's subsidiaries use a line starting in " 2 " (recently they started using a " 1 " like other publishers) and state plainly "First Edition" if it is a first printing and eliminate the "First Edition" once they start the second printing.Many editions state First Edition, as they are until a reprint is done, but this is not the same as what collecters call a " True First Edition ". A books value is in the printing and the First Printing is the most valuable and is referred to as the " True First Edition ".In my listings all True First Editions will state " First Printing" and if only stating First Edition it will indicate a later printing or re-issue in the description.******************EBay Book Condition DefinitionsTerminologyFoxing: Spotting on a book, usually brown spots found in varying severity, caused by a chemical action wherein impurities in the paper oxidizeFEP: Front End PaperISBN: International Standard Book NumberCrinkling: the curling of dust jacket edges over timeChipping: Little tears along edges of dust jacketClipped/Unclipped: The MSRP has or hasn't been clipped offRemainder: The mark a publisher makes when the item is ineligable for credit back from the publisherAll books are rated based on these conditionsBrand NewA new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages.
