There are six official printings of the first edition of The Little Prince. Although the text did not change after the sixth printing, the 5-lines colophon was no longer printed at the end of the book after the sixth printing ("Publication History"). After the sixth print run, it became difficult to decipher the year that a specific copy was printed, as the copyright date did not change on the title page verso. One easy way to tell whether or not a copy is an early edition is by looking at the publisher that is listed on the title page. Copies printed prior to 1948 were published by Reynal & Hitchcock while those printed during and after 1948 were published by one form or another of the Harcourt, Brace family.
