It seems like every week, someone on Ebay is selling a “first edition” or “first printing” of a Dorothy Parker book. Watch out. I’ve been looking at these closely, and very few, if any, are the real article. Some booksellers are tricking buyers into thinking they’re getting a “first” simply because there is either (a) no listed second/subsequent printing; or (b) there is only the one copyright page and that’s it. I’ll work to get online samples of real first editions so you won’t be duped. But be wary of online booksellers anyway.
