    Without knowing the title or anything more, I can't be sure, but if the copyright page (on the back of the title page) shows a date for the first printing but no subsequent dates, then the copy you have probably is the first printing.

    If you've got that date from somewhere else, not from the book itself, then you really are faced with a lot of research to find out how old your copy is.

    If you type everything you know into the page linked below, you may find some more information about other copies that are listed on the web.

    Go onto Amazon and type in the name of your book there, it might tell you in it's information.
