Publishing date again by
Guess I didn't phrase the question correctly. A first printing would be described as "first printing, published 1990" A 10th printing would be described as "Tenth printing, published ?" or can one only say "Tenth printing, copyright 1990"?

Publishing date by
If a first printing of a book is published in 1990, can a publication date of, say, the 10th printing be accurately stated, or is it more proper to just describe the book as "copyright 1990"?
