Random House will use "First Edition" instead of the number 1, so that
First Edition
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
means a first edition.

I read recently that Random House has begun using a number line
beginning with 1...can anyone verify? And if correct, anyone know the
exact date it started?

There was a discussion about this here last October, when someone spotted
one RH fiction title--Peter Straub's latest, "Lost Boy, Lost Girl" (released
October 7, 2003)--that used a 1 number line. I don't know of any other
fiction of which this is true, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there.
RH has used 1 number lines on many (not all) nonfiction books, and continues
to do so.
