Re: editions, etc.



I think Philip has this right. The book being described is a 'facsimile
reprint of the first edition' or a 'reprint issue' rather than either a
'second edition' or a 'second issue'.

...It is, however, wrong, because confusing, to refer to a photographic
facsimile as a new edition, because it obfuscates its relationship to the
edition from which it derives. And it's hard to argue that there's much
chance of textual change in a photographic reprint. Why not just say,
"photographic facsimile of the first edition"?
