Night Nurse Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi, Laura. As I understand it, an EDITION refers to all copies of a book printed on one or more occasions from the same type (font)..... Subsequent editions may be in a different type. An IMPRESSION denotes all copies within an edition printed at one time on the same print run. Someone more erudite may correct me, but that's what I understand it to be. Hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
