  • Benefits of the Library Treasures Volume Considered
    Making treasures pay? Benefits of the library treasures volume considered K. E. Attar Senate House Library University of London [email protected] The past decade has seen the publication of numerous treasures books relating to the holdings of libraries of various sizes across several sec- tors, with more in progress at the time of writing. These glossy tomes are not cheap to produce. Apart from up-front payment of publication costs, to be recouped through sales, there is the cost of photography and staff time: selecting items to be featured, identifying and liaising with contribu- tors, writing, editing and proof-reading. Why do it? Are we on a bandwagon, keeping pace with each other because the time has come when not to have produced a treasures volume may suggest a library’s paucity of rare, valuable or significant items? If the aim is to stake a claim about status and holdings, how meaningful will treasures volumes be when we all have them? How much do they really demonstrate now, when in a sense they are a leveller: if a treasures volume features, say, one hundred items, a library with 101 appro- priate candidates can produce one just as well as a library with ten thousand items from which to choose. While only time will test the long-term value of the treasures volume in raising a library’s profile, creating such a book can be a positive enterprise in numerous other ways. This article is based on the treasures volume produced by Senate House Library, University of London, in November 2012.1 It reflects on benefits Senate House Library has enjoyed by undertaking the project, in the hope that the sharing of one library’s experience may encourage others.

  • Identifying First Editions (Updated 2018) the Table Below Lists the First Trade
    Identifying first editions (updated 2018) Compiled by Bev Vincent with the assistance of materials made available by Rich DeMars, John Mastrocco, Steve Oelrich and Shaun Nauman. E-mail corrections or questions to [email protected] The table below lists the first trade edition identification criteria for each of Stephen King's books. The early Doubleday books all say "First Edition" explicitly on the copyright page (CP). There are other identifiers for these books as well. For books that contain strings of numbers to denote the printing, the important consideration is the presence of the numeral 1 in that string, regardless of the format of the numbers. Some possible variations of the printing numbers are: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 All three of these denote a first edition. The numeral 1 will be removed for a second printing. Black House is the exception. First edition copies state "First Edition" on the copyright page and the number sequence will be "2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3". Trim size is given because Book Club editions are often smaller than trade editions. Also, Book Club edition dust jackets (DJ) are occasionally found on first editions to replace lost or damaged jackets. Book Club edition dust jackets are easily identified because they do not have a price marked inside the front cover. Later printing trade edition dust jackets will often have a different price from what is found in the table.
