A First American Edition/Third Printing with the number line ending in "3".Please remember this is NOT a First Edition/First Printing! For Random House titles during this time period, of which Villard is an imprint, they would typically denote the First Printing of the First Edition with two specific identifiers.1. The number line will end with "2". This may be a bit confusing to some individuals who are used to seeing a full number line concluding with a "1". 2. A "First Edition" statement will be clearly stated on the copyright page.There are other First Edition Point of Interest relating to the dust jacket to ensure that the jacket is a First State dust jacket. This includes the correct price on the front flap and the correct ISBN on the rear flap.As we previously mentioned, this was common with Random House titles. From Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, all of the First Editions/First Printings of these Random House titles had a number line ending in "2" and the First Edition statement clearly stated on the copyright page. This continued on for some time and can be seen in the title by such varied authors as James A. Michener, Mario Puzo, E. L. Doctorow, Robert Ludlum and so on. The books of theirs published by Random House had the same identifiers. Some would classify this copy as a First Edition Thus, a First Edition/Later Printing, a First Edition/Early Printing and so on.We prefer to be as specific as possible with our classifications which is why refer to this copy as a First Edition/Third Printing.
