When is a book considered a first edition?
In the world of book collecting, a first edition is generally considered to be the first appearance of a work, in its first printing. At first this can become somewhat confusing because when a book becomes very popular and is often re-printed many times over a number of years with different publishers resulting in several “first editions.”.
Why was there a second printing of the book?
First and Second Printing before Publication – This indicates the publisher was successful in promoting the book and had more orders before the actual publication date than the first printing quantity would cover, therefore a second printing was ordered. Not a first edition.
