An edition is a set of copies issued from the same basic typesetting, plates, files, or printing arrangement. A poetry book may have a first edition, a revised edition with corrected text, or a limited edition made with special paper and binding. The term differs from an individual printing, since additional print runs can sometimes be made from the same edition's setting. Edition statements help readers, scholars, and collectors identify the textual and material history of a poem or collection.

An edition consists of copies made from the same basic printing setup or production files. A revised edition changes content, while a limited edition restricts the number of copies.
