I bought a used copy of Man in Black, the Johnny Cash autobiography, and am trying to identify if it is a first edition or not. It doesn't have any of the traditional numbers or say what printing it is.

Does anyone have a first edition of this or know of another way for me to tell? I can take a digital pic of the page and send it if it would be helpful.

If it doesn't have a number line, it might be a book club edition. Does the jacket have a price on the fold?

Yes, just inside the flap it has a price of $6.95. It was published by Zondervan Publishing House based out of Grand Rapids, MI. On the normal page where the edition information is it just has a copyright 1975 and the Library of Congress Catalog # and a brief statement about how no part may be reproduced, etc.

Thanks for your response.

I don't have any expert knowledge on it, but I would suspect that it's a first printing. It's unlikely that the book had subsequent printings (it's a small publisher), and if it did, it would probably indicate it.

Thanks for your help.
