But, how can you tell if its a first edition?

Look at the front copyright page and at the bottom (or near it) there should be a row of numbers. A first edition would have numbers that appear something like this: 7 6 5 4 3 2 - with the number 1 missing. That's how it is for American books, at least.

The British ones just read 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 or say "First Edition" - like mine does

£20,000 is around $35,000.
