Guest guest Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 In introductory pages of books we sometimes see references to for instance the second or third printing, or the second or a revised edition. Is there a difference between a 'printing' and an 'edition' of a book? If the first run of a book is reprinted without any changes, presumably that would be called the second 'printing.' If the rerun has just a few editorial and orthographic changes, is that considered a 'revised edition' or does it require to be considerably revamped to qualify as a new 'edition'?
