Such minor changes do not constitute a new edition, but introduce typographical variations within an edition, which are of interest to collectors. A common complaint of book collectors is that the bibliographer's definition is used in a book-collecting context.
Salinger 's The Catcher in the Rye as of [update] remains in print in hardcover. The type is the same as the first printing, therefore all hardcover copies are, for the bibliographer, the first edition.
Revised Version - Wikipedia
Collectors would use the term for the first printing only. First edition most often refers to the first commercial publication of a work between its own covers, even if it was first printed in a periodical: The term "first trade edition," refers to the earliest edition of a book offered for sale to the general public in book stores.
For example, Upton Sinclair 's novel The Jungle was published in two variant forms. A "Sustainers' Edition", published by the Jungle Publishing Company, was sent to subscribers who had advanced funds to Sinclair. The first trade edition was published by Doubleday, Page to be sold in bookstores.
Many book collectors place maximum value on the earliest bound copies of a book—promotional advance copies , bound galleys, uncorrected proofs, and advance reading copies sent by publishers to book reviewers and booksellers. It is true that these are rarer than the production copies; but given that these were not printed from a different setting of type just the opposite; the main purpose of galleys and proofs is to double-check the typeset matter that will be used for production , they are not different editions.

Publishers use "first edition" according to their own purposes, and consequently among them the designation is used very inconsistently. The "first edition" of a trade book may be the first iteration of the work printed by the publisher in question or the first iteration of the work that includes a specific set of illustrations or editorial commentary. Publishers of non-fiction, academic works, and textbooks generally distinguish between revisions of the text of the work, by typically citing the dates of the first and latest editions of the work in the copyright page. The reason for this stretch of the definition is often for the short-term marketing advantage of the new textbook , because, although first editions are often considered more valuable than later editions to book collectors, being a subsequent edition of a previous textbook gives the impression that the textbook denominated as a subsequent edition is more authoritative.
The qualitative difference between a "revised edition" and a "new edition" is subjective. This is analogous to the way that software publishers may denominate an iteration "version 3. The subjective judgment of the degree of the significance of the change made with the new iteration or the perceived marketing advantage of designating the new iteration as a specific number determines how the new iteration is numbered.
Therefore, the designation "revised edition" does not designate any quality or quantity of revision with certainty. When a non-fiction book is first published it sometimes instigates more research on its subject. The author may determine that new information justifies the revision of the book. A new iteration of the book would be published as a new edition, which may be denominated a "revised and updated edition".
However, as with the denomination of "revised edition", the use of "revised and updated edition" manifests only the subjective choice of the publisher, which may be different from the publisher of a previous "revised edition" of the same work. The basic definition of a co-edition is when two publishing houses publish the same edition of a book or equivalent versions of an edition, for example, translated versions , simultaneously or near-simultaneously, usually in different countries. English and American editions may differ in spelling , and they sometimes have different titles.
The logic of co-editions has often been to use the existing distribution systems of the different publishers in each country rather than establishing new distribution systems. Advancing IT and the globalization of publishing have been blurring the lines of what co-edition means. For example, anything published online is effectively published worldwide.
Also, large multinational publishers now have existing distribution systems for their hardcopy books in many countries, so they don't need to partner with other companies.

They may issue a book under a different imprint for each country, but the imprints are parts of the same parent corporation. The actual manufacturing of the books may be done in China regardless of where the copies will be sold. The term e-dition , a play on the e- for-electronic prefix , has been used by various publishers to refer to various ideas, which include:. A library edition may appear to be the same as copies appearing in shops and almost certainly uses the same setting.
However, the binding and hinges are made extra strong to allow for the greater wear and tear in library books. This is analogous to the "police and taxi" packages for automobiles, in which heavier brakes and other upgrades are made to withstand harsher-than-standard use and longer duty cycles. A popular book is sometimes re-issued under the imprint of a book club.
Often it is a new setting and with cheaper paper and binding.
