First Edition Points and Criteria for Independence Day

Year Published: 1995
Author Last Name: Ford
Author First Name: Richard
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf
Original Price: $24.00
Pages: 451

The first edition has "First Edition" stated on copyright page and 1995 on the title page. Boards are tan with gold lettering on a navy blue cloth spine. Dust jacket has photo of the author on the back with no reviews, and the back flap has six reviews for the Sportswriter - by Walker Percy, The New York Times, Kansas City Star and Times, Los Angeles Herald and Examiner, The New York Review of Books, and Cleveland Plain Dealer. There is a typographical error mentioned in dealer listings where the word "with" is missing on page 289, line 21. This error persists well into the forth printing and is therefore not a first edition point.

Two "limited editions" were issused at the same time by B.E. Trice Publishing using the sheets of the Knopf edition including the same copyright page. These were specially bound and signed by the author on a tipped-in numbered page. One of these editions was limited to 26 lettered copies, bound in leather backed marbled boards, and housed in a black cloth slipcase. The other edition was limited to 150 numbered copies, bound in green cloth, and housed in a green cloth slip case.

Independence Day won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the PEN/Faulkner Award.
