    I bought a set of the ‘RuneScape’ novels years ago and I decided to read the first book again this week.
    Inside the first few pages there is a page that has following:

    RuneScape: Betrayal at Falador
    ISBN 9781848567221

    *Publisher info*

    “First edition October 2010”
    “10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1”

    Does this mean I have a first edition book? Or is it saying when first editions were printed?
    I know next to nothing about book publishing or editions so I apologize if this isn’t a place to ask. I’m just really curious.

      That would be a first edition first Printing. So, you a first edition of that book. If you had one that says “10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2” you would have a second printing of the first edition
