Any idea on how many PG books have more than one edition? (excluding different translations of course).
That would take a lot of time and research to say definitively. I would imagine that the more popular books would have come out in several editions: the UK first, US unauthorized reprint, UK reprints, some author revisions, gala editions of eminent authors, and finally scholarly editions. Most of the differences between editions would have been minor (variant spellings, typos) but a few books would have a more complicated publishing history, when authors revised for later editions. The books that didn't do well would have had one or two printings and then died. -- Karen Lofstrom
