"Jaws" first edition

greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Exchange: A Forum for Antiques and The Arts : One Thread

I have two hardcover copies of JAWS - both say first edition - published in 1974 - on the copywright page and both are exactly the same except that on the page facing the title page is a "list" of the two books Benchley has written. In one copy it says "TIME & A TICKET (1964) / JAWS (1974); in the other copy it says JAWS (1973). Which is the true first edition - and is either one worth anything?

With most books it is usually the case that it's the first editions in perfect condition that bring the most money. The vast majority of books are just a good read on a rainy day, if you want to check the value of any book try this url http://www.bibliofind.com/
