1. One of a number of printings of books and newspapers: "The book was so popular that the publisher had to print a fifth edition."
2. The size, style, or form in which a book is published: "The publisher also printed a smaller pocket edition."

The publication of a book that is produced on a grade of paper which is superior to that of a standard edition, more-or-less expensively bound, sometimes printed with special type, and often limited in number: There are times when the term deluxe edition is used merely as a selling attraction with little or no special qualities.
