How to tell a book is 1st edition and
1st printing:
The value in book lies not only in its state of 1st
edition but if it is 1st printing as well. While booksellers and collectors alike would appreciate a uniform
discipline by publishers for indicating edition status, it does not appear
likely. The common convention used today is a
number line on the copyright page. Conventional wisdom says that if the
number "1" is anywhere in that line (the order is irrelevant), the book is a
first printing.
How to care for valuable
books:
1. Jackets should be covered in acid-free book jacket
covers.
2. Books should stand up-right on a book shelf, so as
not to create a slant of the spine.
3. Books should be kept out of direct sunlight, where
air can circulate freely.
4. Store them away from windows and don't put them on
shelves against outside walls.
5. Store them on flat, smooth shelves that are strong
enough to support their weight.
6. Books should not be in contact with unsealed wood
because it can release damaging acidic vapors. Line shelves with acid free
boards if necessary to prevent this problem.
7. Use bookends to keep the books from falling over,
and be sure they are high enough to support the books completely.
8. Avoid storing books in an attic or basement
because attics get too hot and basements get too damp. Both are also subject to
rapid changes in temperature and humidity levels. Keep books out from under
plumbing and water pipes; water damage from these sources is all too
common.
9. You can also consider custom-fitted archival boxes
made from high-quality materials.
