GOOSEBUMPS WELCOME TO DEAD HOUSE 1st Edition & TRUE 1st Print R. L. Stine Rare

Description: This is a true first print of Welcome to Dead House by R. L. Stine. A lot of Goosebumps books on eBay claim to be true first prints, when they’re actually later prints. The book in this listing is a genuine true first print. What is a true first print? The Goosebumps books were printed in batches (or print runs). The very first batch of books printed for a specific title is called a true first print. If a book kept selling, they would order another batch of books to be printed. Since it was a popular book, Welcome to Dead House went through many (~40) print runs. Keep in mind, these are all first editions. But only the first batch of books sent to the printer are called true first prints. Welcome to Dead House was the first book in the series, and the publisher didn’t know how popular the book would be. So not too many books were printed for the first batch, making true first prints of Welcome to Dead House very rare. How can you tell if a Goosebumps book is a true first print? If you look at the line of numbers on the copyright page (on the left side), the very last number in the line indicates the print run. See the final photo in my listing. The number 1 at the end of the line indicates this is a true first print. In other words, this book was part of the first batch of books printed of Welcome to Dead House — the book that started it all. This book is not only exceptionally rare but historically significant.
