Simon and Schuster Firsts?
I've seen a couple of recent (from the 1980s and '90s) S&S (and its
subsidiary imprints) that have a number line beginning with "2" and a statement of "FIRST EDITION". In other words, they look like Random House firsts. Since S&S seems not to have had a consistent practice, are these firsts? William M. Klimon |

But you're right: They are inconsistent about the "First Edition" statement. Back in the mid-'70s and earlier, they used "First printing." Then for a long time they used just a number line, and then they went through the period you mentioned (late '80s through early 2000s) when they might or might not use the FE slug. Most recently, I think they've done away with it. -- Jon Meyers (To reply, lose your way) |
