Book publishers often have different definitions, but I think this is how we use the terms on this wiki.

First edition means the very first time the book was published in that language. It could be in both hardcover and paperback. It could also be in more than one country at the same time (for example, some of the later books were originally published in both Canada and the US). But, there will really only be one first edition.

We use the word edition when that book is published by that publisher for the first time. A new edition is when the content of the book is changed or updated (like a new translation).

Reissue means the book has been published by that publisher before and is now being printed again, maybe with a new cover and ISBN, maybe not. But the content stays the same.

You can also specify in the "Type" column on the Notes pages if the whether the edition is a hardcover or a paperback.

We also put galleries of matching book collections in the Anne of Green Gables series gallery.

Hope this helps!
