editions
Numbered book releases
Editions are different versions or printings of a publication.
A book's first edition is its initial release; later editions may be revised, updated, or corrected.
Newspapers publish morning and evening editions.
A limited edition restricts the number of copies produced, often increasing collectible value: She owns a signed first edition of the novel.
