Reply to comment by CDNChaoZ in How do you determine if a book is a true first edition? by atlantismerman

Also, one of my books has printers key going like 51 53 55 57 58 60 58 56 54 52, so this would mean its the 51st print of the edition?

While the numbers line tends to indicate printings, I think it's also been used to indicate year. It could mean 1951.

If it's a really popular book, then it's most likely the print run number.
