Because numbers get shaved off a slug as part of the normal process, it seems strange to me that it'd be a typo. If the number 10 were a mistake, why not just shave it off? Because so many numbers seem to be missing, 5 through 9, that doesn't seem like a mistake either. Your guess is as good as mine. Well, that I don’t have a clue about.

What I was wondering about was the numeral 10 with no other numbers as you would see in a number line. The other dates 9/9 0/0 are the publication date, 1999, I knew that, but on the left of that it is just the numeral 10 with no number line down to 10, or 10 down to 1 like you would see in a first printing. Could it be the 10th printing or some sort of typo or mistake? Thanks again! Hello Terisa, thanks for your response.

If we go by the rule that the lowest number is the printing, then I'd say that it's the first printing (the lowest of the numbers from 1 to 4). But I've never seen dates given as 9/9 or 0/0. Could that be 1999 and 2000? If that were true, then I'd go with 1999 as a printing date. That's just me guessing, though, so I'd suggest looking further afield for information--though I'm not sure where. A book dealer? A librarian perhaps? Best of luck!

There is also a big space between the number 10 and the rest of the numbers. Was this a printing error omitting the rest fo the number line, or does it indicate a 10 printing of a first edition?

I am assuming that it is the 29 printing (in 2009) of the 2008 edition of the work. Am I right? So why is the notation for the year presented like this 20 09 rather than 2009?

And yes, you’re right, every printer’s key is different. I don’t know of a comprehensive source for all the variations since it’s not really a matter of rules but of tradition and how closely individual printers want to stray from it.
