Year of this edition, if known. Leave blank when you can only read the original copyright date; record that statement below instead. Use Publisher for the current imprint inside the book. If only the cover is visible, record it as “cover publisher” below: facsimiles can reproduce old imprints.

Record or correct physical details

Transcribe what is visible on this book. Leave an unreadable detail blank. A date in a copyright notice can belong to the original work; it does not necessarily date this printing.

Photograph the edition or printing statement.

Which edition are we investigating?

Any series, publisher, language or period can be investigated, including an edition absent from the catalogue. These choices guide the evidence to collect; they do not identify the book.

Evidence needed for this question

  1. language · Not recorded

    Record the language of the interior text, not just the cover.

  2. place of publication · Not recorded

    Photograph the publisher's imprint on the title or copyright page.

  3. edition statement · Not recorded

    Photograph the edition or printing statement.

  4. printing statement · Not recorded

    Photograph the complete printing statement, including any mille or number line.

  5. back cover · Not recorded

    Photograph the back cover.

  6. binding · Not recorded

    Photograph the binding and boards.

Publisher-specific references must distinguish this printing from later issues, translations, reprints and facsimiles. A complete checklist alone is not proof of an original edition.

International ISBN Agency: editions, translations and unchanged reprints
Early editions and facsimiles

No ISBN? Start with the title and the publisher printed on your copy. Record the edition and printing statements, back cover, spine, endpapers, dimensions and any inserted plates. Keep signatures, copy numbers and restoration in the copy’s condition notes.

An unchanged reprint can retain the same ISBN. A first translation, a first collected edition and a first printing are separate questions. Compare the full imprint, indicia or colophon with references for that publisher and publication; a reproduced date or cover cannot establish the physical printing by itself.

Evidence first

No guess is presented as an edition.

Identifiers and visible details help find a catalogue record. Printing, variant and physical-copy authentication require their own evidence. When candidates remain ambiguous, Smart Next Shot asks for a useful next view.
