∙ 13y ago1. Books often appear in more than one edition. To give a simple example, a book may be published in a hardback and a paperback edition. These have different ISNB numbers even if the pagination (page numbering) is identical in both.
2. If a book is reprinted, there are sometimes changes to the text (beyond correcting misprints). Every reprinting of this kind is another edition. So, a book may have a 1st, 2nd, 3rd edition, etc.
3. In academic writing, your bibliography must always state clearly which edition you used. For example, if a work has been revised and extended it may contain whole chapters that are not in earlier editions. It is also often useful in the bibliography to state also when the work was first published.
