Lasher - 1993 - First Edition, Second Printing before publication. This requires an explanation. Here is an example of how a Second Printing Before Publication happens. When a publisher decides to publish a book for the first time, the book is called a first edition. The publisher picks a date when the first edition will be published. In the time leading up to that publication date, the publisher is busy working with the printing plants producing copies of the book, taking orders from book stores, and planning for distribution of the book. Let's say the publisher decides to release the book in two months, and it asks the printing press to produce 20,000 books. The printer produces all of the books and calls this the First Printing Before publication. At this point in time, the publisher has not yet published the books, meaning it has not yet delivered the books to the public because the publication date has not yet arrived. Then the publisher discovers that it is getting more orders than it planned for, and it needs more books. So it asks the printing plant to print another 20,000 books. Those additional books are called the second printing, and if those books were produced before the publication date, they can be considered the second printing before publication. If the publisher needs to print more books before the publication date, then they will have the Third Printing Before Publication. No matter how many printings are run.

This unique set would make a great gift for a fan of Anne Rice!!
