About Lost Paddle Books, IOBA California, United States
Founded by an avid collector with 30+ years experience in all facets of the book trade from bookselling and library science to publishing. We believe that books can lead to greater empathy and understanding in the world helping us open ourselves to other lives and experiences. Additional services offered include appraisals for Bay Area residents and collection development for private individuals and institutions.
Books are unique in their ability to encompass lives, from the lives of their authors, to the characters or subjects they portray. They even have the capacity to take on a life of their own as they pass among us acquiring stories, artifacts and scars along the way. As such, they deserve to be treated with respect. We use only premium packaging materials and every attempt is made to be as accurate as possible in our listings. All books are supplied in protective mylar sleeves if applicable and additional photos are available on request for books offered at $50 at owner's discretion.

Summary
First Edition Identification
Although the first printing of The Eye of the World that went to market was a paperback, the hardcover is the most sought-after by collectors. The first printing of hardcovers was meant mainly for libraries and limited to around 1500 copies, and so very few remain in collectible condition. The copyright page for the paperback and the hardcover first editions include both the ISBNs for the paperback and the hardcover. Later printings removed the duplicated ISBNS.
True first editions of The Eye of the World will have “First edition, February 1990” on the copyright page, along with a full number line including number 1. The jacket price is $24.95 (later printings were $27.95).
The publisher later rebound paperbacks into hardbacks for reprints. Those rebound paperbacks are a popular variation for collectors as well. 5000 ARC (Advanced Review Copies) of The Eye of the World were printed – these have a different cover than the first printing.
