The Author's 1st novel. "Until 1930, the Scribner's seal and the date of publication (month and year) generally appeared on first editions, and subsequent printings were usually noted (although did not strictly adhered to either practice). Since 1930, have used an "A" on the copyright page to denote the first edition, sometimes with the Scribner seal, sometimes with a code..." Quill & Brush First-Identification guide.
