A book that is in demand but is not hard to find is often called collectible. A book difficult to find but may not be in high demand is often called scarce. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/08148be8-3a88-401e-8868-dd0ca398eaeb/49006_1.jpg What is a First Edition? - Common Terms Categorized By Age A book over about 100 years old is considered antiquarian. A book over about 20 years old but less than 100 may be called vintage. (This is common on nonspecialist marketplaces, but is not yet common in professional discourse.) Elements of a book that aren’t original, but date from the period the book was published (or within about 10 years), are called contemporary. A book published in 1860 with a binding from 1870 or earlier is in a contemporary binding. Elements of a book that date from our current era are called modern. A book published in 1860 bound by a living binder is in a modern binding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/b6834170-9af8-4afb-ab4e-f2087f53d5ab/40845_1.jpeg What is a First Edition? - Common Terms from Bibliography Edition: all the copies of a book printed during substantially the same setting of type. Printing or impression: all the copies of a book printed during a specific interval of time. Issue: all the copies of a book issued to the public at one time in a distinct batch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609693539149-J08K57WFAXLDCUKJUJHL/1002_5.jpg What is a First Edition? - Why all the different terms? Edition, printing/impression, and issue refer to different aspects of how a book was historically produced and made available for sale in the “handpress” era of the Western tradition: when type was set entirely by hand. For centuries type was an expensive resource, so once printers finished printing a book, they would take apart the set type to use in other projects. Those copies printed in one setting of type constitute the edition. If the book sold well, the printer would have to re-assemble the type to print the book again, creating the second edition. There are many circumstances that can lead to variation on this theme. For example, the printer might produce 1000 copies in June, but leave the type intact to revisit in August. The books printed in August are the same edition (no dismantling of the type), but form the second printing. The key factor in distinguishing a printing is the interval of time in between the two batches. (“Impression” has the same meaning, but is used more commonly in the UK.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/b80296f0-4999-4b60-8e7d-ba8b72a1b5ff/47582_3.jpeg What is a First Edition? - In another instance, publisher may save three separate printings of a book and issue them all at once, with the result that some copies are properly called “first edition, first issue, third printing.” Or perhaps the publisher uses the same printed material, but issues one batch in a deluxe binding and another batch in a less expensive “trade” binding. Those constitute two different issues of the same edition. Signed limited editions like the book on the left are deluxe issues of books that often have a cheaper “trade” issue in the same edition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/be798adb-2efe-4ce7-8a16-20a796a7e332/48659_5.jpeg What is a First Edition? - Read more… John Carter’s ABC for Book Collectors is characteristically eccentric, but defines 85% of the terms in common use.

Extensive exposure to sunlight damages book bindings just as it does your skin. The spines on this binding was once a deep plum, just like the front board still visible on top. Exposure to sunlight faded the spine to light brown. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609680974688-G2DLS5SFR2STKNWXSX0A/39512_2.jpg Storage & Handling - Use light sources without damaging UV rays, like LEDs, rather than florescent lights. In extreme cases — as in iconic dust jackets like on The Sound and the Fury — the damage of UV rays can dramatically affect the market price of that copy. The faded red you see on this spine can potentially knock off thousands of dollars from the price. Note that the clear archival plastic placed on dust jackets by professional book dealers is not UV resistant. It is meant to protect the jacket while handling only. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609682820150-MZIS50GX8REX5NOZURLO/Goudy%2B2.jpg Storage & Handling - Keep the room temperature as stable as possible. Fluctuations in temperature are hard on books. 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit year-round is the best balance that stabilizes the books while still being comfortable for you. (Institutions may choose a slightly lower temperature for their storage, meant to last centuries — but that’s without the expectation that humans live there.) Humidity follows the Goldilocks principle: not too dry, not too wet. Ideally, that will be around 45%. Keep a consistent eye on your shelves if you live in a particularly arid, wet, or humid area. The worst rooms to store your books are the attic, basement, or garage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609687786303-VK727F5S549ONBOIW8IE/IMG-3211.jpg Storage & Handling - The bookcase in your living room, bedroom, or library is the best place to store books in your home: a room where you often spend time. If you’re following the rules of light and temperature above, such rooms are often the most logical places of storage in a private residence. Most books can be placed vertically on your shelves. Just keep an eye on your shelves for books tilted at an angle: they should be straight up and down to avoid strain on the joints. One potential exception: very heavy or tall books may be better stored horizontally on the shelf. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609683330543-8VU2P63ITTNIU92Z8P8M/39523_6.jpg Storage & Handling Many more expensive or fragile rare books have a clamshell box custom made for them by a bookbinder. However, as custom professional work, they can be expensive. If the cost of a clamshell box is prohibitive, a basic archival storage box like this one can be useful for your more fragile or expensive items. Companies like Gaylord and Talas specialize in such archival storage solutions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609689363908-AVUHCANBKWK1HGAXK5GY/40070_1.jpg Storage & Handling - Dust your shelves. Use a feather duster — no chemicals — and dust with a motion away from the spine. Luxury and practicality: many deluxe antiquarian books are gilt on the top edge. Besides creating an aura of luxury, the gilt top edge of books also serves a practical purpose. It forms a barrier against dust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609683876056-U4BUGM666YEMNS9C8AGU/39494_9.jpg Storage & Handling - Avoid home treatments. Consult a professional conservator before attempting any repairs or applying foreign agents for cleaning. Dry leather bindings should not be treated without the proper expertise: most bindings do not need oil or other treatments at all. Similarly, household tape for paper tears or hinge strengthening does more damage than good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609684684360-VD8XQ7LHLDHZZR3WBJIN/Crusoe.jpg Storage & Handling - Books are engineered to be handled. The design of the codex format is meant for human hands. You can safely handle the vast majority of books if you follow two main rules. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609687712906-9EFHMLM5DW0Q854QN6YX/1000_3.jpg Storage & Handling - Rule 1: Avoid pulling a book off the shelf by the head of the spine. The part of a book that is visible when it is on a shelf next to other books is called the spine. The top of the spine is called the head. The head is one of the weak points of the Western codex format. It can flake or break off if consistently used to pull the book down. Instead, use one of two methods: Method 1 (preferred): Grasp the book from around its center, with fingers on one side and thumb on the other. Books should be shelved with enough “give” between them that it is easy to push the book’s neighbors slightly back in order to grasp it in this manner. Method 2: Pull the book down from the very back, keeping your finger against the bulk of paper that makes up the inside, the “text block.” This is best when books are shelved too tightly to easily push volumes alongside it back enough to grasp a book by its middle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609686015496-3OP77YGNNMBM3DWFGJ1P/40052_1.jpg Storage & Handling - Rule 2: Avoid placing stress on the joints of a book. The joints of a book are where the spine meets the front and back covers (called “boards” for hardcovers and “wrappers” for softcovers). In opening the book, the point where it pivots is the joint. Many rare books should not be opened at more than a 90 degree angle (and even less for some books). The key is to pay attention: you can often feel the tension when you’ve begun to open the book too wide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609686925426-UMX40FY3ZVYRFSOL0TF3/39458_7.jpg Storage & Handling - Recommended method: Open books on a flat surface. Set the book on a table and use your left hand to hold up the front board at a safe angle. As you look through the book, simply use your right hand to gather more of the leaves into your left hand. For quick reference, you can hold a book in your hand, if done with proper care. Keep the palm of your hand set against the spine, your thumb laid against one board, and your fingers against the other board. That way, when you open the book, either your fingers or your thumb are supporting the boards and controlling the angle of the joints. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609686984237-05RYRJEBIA25RFC3BLAR/39372_4.jpg Storage & Handling - Questions?

How Ben Franklin systematically destroyed the business of a fellow printer. How the first Gutenberg Bible was brought to America entirely by accident, much to the dismay of its new owner. How publishers learned that certain words in a book's title can help sales. Words like "prostitute." And much more, drawn from Rebecca’s experience and research in the world of rare books.

Collecting is very concept-driven, and collectors often seek items with the greatest historical or personal influence. The first edition of a book is often the edition that has the biggest impact on the world. In addition, there’s a romanticism to the idea: a first edition captures the historical moment when those words and ideas were read for the first time by the general public. Historically, this has not always been the most fashionable way to collect books — nor should it stop you in collecting however you wish. But its status as the current dominant trend does affect demand, pricing, and other major factors in collecting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609697709803-E5493UO6YMAYVJOKUWFH/IMG-3230.jpg The Fundamentals of Book Collecting - There are exceptions… A later edition of a book can be considered rare, or even more desirable than the first edition. Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s famous Sonnets from the Portuguese sequence is first found in the second edition of her Poems (1850), rather than the first edition (1844). Or a collector may be more interested in a particular illustrator than an author. An Arthur Rackham collector doesn’t seek the “true” first edition of Grimm’s Fairy Tales, but the “first Rackham edition” — an edition published nearly 100 years later, but the first with Rackham’s artwork. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609699241301-5R1JNHOH9JUDYFV58K3P/1220_1.jpg The Fundamentals of Book Collecting - Rare books are historical artifacts: many collectors prefer copies in as close to their original state as possible. If a book was originally issued with a dust jacket, it should still have that jacket. If the book was published with a folding map, the folding map should still be there. If it’s a 10-volume set, all 10 volumes should be intact. Because an incomplete book is missing a key trait of collectibility, this can affect the asking price tremendously. If one volume is missing from a 10-volume set, the price doesn’t go down 10% — it can decrease by 50%-90%. And most books after about 1930 are not considered collectible at all if missing the dust jackets they were issued with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/1609700170288-3N46LSMPZ8SALM7JR5VD/1248_1.jpg The Fundamentals of Book Collecting - Condition is the quality of an individual copy’s state of preservation — and it can have a critical effect on the price. An online search for first edition copies of Hound of the Baskervilles will result in a range of prices that differ dramatically. Although some may be pricing higher or lower for other reasons (e.g. consciously undercutting the market in the hopes of selling a book quickly), this spectrum is a reflection of the importance of condition. Condition alone can sometimes make a difference of thousands of dollars. In book collecting, “fine” describes copies of the highest grade. This is followed by “near fine.” The lowest grade that is still considered collectible in most cases is “very good.” In rare books, “good” is usually bad. https://www.rebeccaromney.com/press daily 0.75 2024-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/20edfe0e-b6e6-4b94-8184-0f0a88dd9f3f/Austen_set.jpg Press https://www.rebeccaromney.com/romance-collecting daily 0.75 2024-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/974dde9b-f9fc-4ac2-818d-6f6fd33c3483/IMG_1568_jpg.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/6ce5d5b5-663b-4bc3-b853-ae877f11c664/IMG_1203.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/f06dd62f-f9ae-47f5-b307-fd6af2511688/IMG_0747.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/e150a2c5-4f0c-4a2a-b6c6-7386d44f5220/IMG_1660_jpg.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/90d3ecf2-d5e9-4eb9-ab07-4d855988db68/IMG_1603.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/e2044d44-5af0-4898-aa15-f1aab31be251/IMG_1220.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/4b0d24aa-a179-45d1-a84e-350d9eb3eeb4/IMG_0742.jpg https://www.rebeccaromney.com/jane-austens-bookshelf daily 0.75 2026-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/b6f765c3-3af5-49c6-a925-9a10a652fd02/Jane+Austen%27s+Bookshelf_4.png https://www.rebeccaromney.com/beyond-jane-austens-bookshelf daily 0.75 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/2ac0db7f-9a50-46ef-b201-df019b2132b8/md31336502180.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/25a3b217-5618-4907-932f-178cdff78f76/61lBCBRyOqL._SY522_.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/6f1d937c-6c4f-43a6-92ad-975d68c635d3/91YgH-H6s9L._SY522_.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/70b0f54e-24dc-42a2-a42e-5224fec6eeb4/419fAaXJIJL.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/78432fa8-7b24-423c-a144-041c52c7492e/51ez25teHaL._SY445_SX342_PQ1_.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/315a5eae-de61-4dab-9c7d-55aa2da627d4/11009_900x.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/6d818c2f-e5e9-4628-ad56-cf5c4f253694/9780333607640.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/ec76bcca-ddd8-4ec9-b225-efba8ee78d93/61F5bXrX0LL._SY522_.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/3e4722f4-03b2-450d-b582-b0bd0ca7ca4b/810NWk-hS6L._SY522_.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/0c04856d-b372-434f-8920-82d0cc296152/71-kgzBGuPS._SY522_.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/5eb18d9d-3455-432c-a22c-c22b92d00146/71a-p2mHQgL._SY522_.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/9b74a821-5e51-4a12-a8f0-241fefc2c3d7/81dCFIIoYlL._SY522_.jpg https://www.rebeccaromney.com/events-for-jane-austens-bookshelf daily 0.75 2025-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fef284c3fe4fe33db894a7d/4985899d-1cf4-4da8-a3f1-3492b3076ed2/2.png
