Criteria For Variants
For this list, a printing is a variant of a separate edition if both it is not a separate edition itself and also any of the following criteria is met:
- Inconspicuous marks or annotations declare it to be from a different publisher than an edition it is otherwise identical to (e.g., book club edition).
- Some internal illustrations appear as color instead of black-and-white, or vice versa.
- Some small change has been made in the design of the book or its binding or dust jacket without affecting the whole design.
A printing is 'not' a separate edition or variant solely because of any of the following:
- Binding color changed.
- Dust jacket color scheme changed but design remained the same.
- Typographical errors were corrected.

Famous quotes containing the words criteria and/or variants:
“The Hacker Ethic: Access to computers—and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works—should be unlimited and total.
Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
All information should be free.
Mistrust authority—promote decentralization.

You can create art and beauty on a computer.
Computers can change your life for the better.”
