One of the most important works of modernist literature, Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot is a play in which two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, wait for the arrival of someone named Godot who never arrives, and while waiting they engage in a variety of discussions and encounter several other characters.

First editions of Waiting for Godot published by Grove Press typically have a mention of it being a first printing and may also include the date of publication on the copyright page.
