A numbered edition is a limited edition where the total number of copies in the print run is notated on the book. This is usually written as the current number over the total number in the printing. (ie: “This book is copy number 35/700”).
A publisher may release a deluxe edition which contains additional features (extra illustrations, extra stories, etc). [2]
