Edition
Edition refers to a particular version of a book. If a book is updated (eg. with new new chapters or amendments) this will be referred to as the 2nd edition, etc. A lecturer may ask you to look at a particular edition of a book, because it contains information which is not contained in earlier of later editions. You will be able to see edition information on the library catalogue.
