<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 4519808, member: 8267&quot;]Yep, that&#039;s it. Nice photo. Some publishers, sometimes, have used logos with recognizable images. But if it is just a dot, like on your book, or a simple star, or square, or some such, it is almost always an indicator for a book club edition, (and therefore not a first edition).</p><p><br /></p><p>When trying to identify a first edition, all features need to match a reliable description of a first edition. In some cases there are reference books that describe the &quot;points&quot; of identification. There are some websites that provide the points. If you are in the used book business, you may be able to rely on another trusted dealer&#039;s description of a first edition. Points of identification will include such things as the precise text on the copyright and title pages, the type and color of the binding, the text and pricing on the dust jacket, and any errors or peculiarities in the text of the book itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>2manycats may have more to say later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
