2D. Statement relating to a named revision of an edition

2D1.

If the publication is a named revision of an edition, transcribe the statement relating to that revision as instructed in 2B.

The third edition, Reprinted with a new preface

(Comment: Statement indicates the publication is a revision of the third edition.)

2D2.

Do not transcribe a statement relating to a reissue of an edition if it represents a substantially unchanged impression of that edition. Omit the impression statement without using the mark of omission. Local notes may be made about such statements, if considered important.

The second edition

Optional local note: Library's copy is "The fifth impression"

Alternative rule:

If a decision has been made to create a separate bibliographic description for an individual impression, state, binding variant, or copy within a single edition or issue (see introductory section X.1.4 and Appendix E), transcribe a statement relating to a reissue of an edition, even if it represents a substantially unchanged impression of that edition, in the edition area. Indicate the source of the statement, if other than the title page, in a note.

The second edition, The fifth impression

Note: "The fifth impression" taken from the t.p. verso

LC Rare Book Team Guidelines: Optional (local) note: Cataloger's judgment. Alternative rule: Usually exercise option. LC will generally catalog at the edition level, but when the decision has been made for an exception, we will exercise this option.
