Hi, moonlitmagikchild! I was told the way to tell a book is a first edition is to look at the numbers usually on the first or second page. If the numbers run from one to ten without other numbers, as in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 it is a first edition. Also a lot of the newer books will say first edition, along with the number line. You might could also look online to try and find out through a search engine, or wikipedia. Hope this helps.
