This is a tool to help collectors and dealers identify First Edition Books of United States publishers. It focuses on publishers and books of the 19th and 20th centuries. Generally speaking, the collector of first editions is really a collector of first impressions, a first impression being a book from the first lot struck off the presses, and a first edition being all books which remain the same in content and in format as the first impression.
