IDENTIFICATION OF FIRST EDITIONS by BILL McBRIDE


This guide lists the methods that past and present English-language PUBLISHERS use to identify First Editions of their Hardbound and Paperback books.

Small in size, 4" by 6", I carry mine around in my purse enclosed in a sandwich size Zip-Lock bag. This makes it handy to refer to at Auctions, Estate Sales, Friends of the Library and Garage Sales.

This is the 1995 Edition, compiled by Bill McBride.
It is in New Condition and the only flaw I can find is a tiny tear at the end of the spine that looks to be cause by the  paper cutter.

Why this Guide?
Acquisition of books rarely takes place in the comfort of your own reference library. Typically, you are at a book sale, in a shop, at an auction or in the home of someone  offering books for sale equip the buyer with as much knowledge as possible for these in the field situations.
This guide in not intended to supplant the full scale bibliography of any author's works. What this guide can do is help do is help collectors, dealers, librarians, auctioneers, indeed anyone buying or selling books,  to identify more accurately the goods at hand.
