You're probably looking at the "print line." It may have different formats, but it will generally be something like this: 1 2 3 4 5 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 The "1 2 3 4 5" lets you know whether this is a first printing, second printing, etc. The lowest number is the one of the printing. Each time the book is reprinted, the number of the previous printing is just masked in making/revising the printing plates. Similarly, the lowest year listed is the year your particular copy of the book was printed. Thus, the following print line 3 4 5 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 would indicate that your copy of the book came from the third printing, which was made in 1995.
The numbers (or in some case letters) refer to the edition number of the book.
They indicate which printing the book is on. If it gets all the way down to 1, it's a first edition.
