What does the second edition of Xinjiang Fine Arts Photography Publishing House mean?

Version is a term in the printing industry.

Before liberation, every printing was called a edition. 1954, the General Administration of Publishing promulgated the Provisions on the Record of Book Version, which separated the version from the printing number. The first time you write the words "first edition, first edition", it is called the first edition. If the content remains the same, the second printing will indicate the second printing of the first edition. This kind of book is called reprint book. If the contents of the edition are significantly modified before the publication and printing for a certain period of time (such as the third printing), the edition number will be recalculated, which is called "the third printing of the second edition".

If there is no obvious change in the content, it is only improved in the order, quantity and comments of the content, which is called "revised edition".

The edition number is used to count the important changes of the edition content: the book published at the 1 th time is called the 1 edition or the first edition, and the book published after a large increase or deletion is called the second edition, and so on. When a book is reprinted, if the content has not changed or only slightly changed, it will not be reprinted, that is, the version will not change. If the title, format, binding, cover and publishing house of the same book change, the version will remain unchanged.

According to the industry rules, there will be no "Second Edition of Xinjiang Fine Arts Photography Publishing House", only a book published by the agency, the second edition. Bibliographers pay special attention to collecting a certain edition. Generally speaking, they will collect the first edition, make major changes to the second edition, or use the second edition for research. Such books are universal, such as "Introduction to Art". Let's talk about this book first, and then talk about the first edition of a publishing house.
