the form in which a text (especially a printed book) is publishedall of the identical copies of something offered to the public at the same time; "the first edition appeared in 1920" "it was too late for the morning edition" "they issued a limited edition of Bach recordings"
an issue of a newspaper; "he read it in yesterday's edition of the Times"
something a little different from others of the same type; "an experimental version of the night fighter" "a variant of the same word" "an emery wheel is the modern variation of a grindstone" "the boy is a younger edition of his father"
