[QUOTE="Marote, post: 10209470, member: 84568"]I think so, based on: [URL]https://www.abebooks.co.uk/books/rarebooks/collecting-guide/what_books_collect/collecting-first-editions.shtml[/URL] "The line sequence could ascend or descend or even have no discernable order depending on the publisher. All of these sequences below are first editions. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 (All first editions) Sometimes the number line is also accompanied by the words ‘first edition’, but be careful because some publishers leave on the words ‘first edition’ even when the book is in its third printing and that fact is reflected in the three in this number line. First edition 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (Third printing)"[/QUOTE]
