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:
“We should have learnt by now that laws and court decisions can only point the way. They can establish criteria of right and wrong. And they can provide a basis for rooting out the evils of bigotry and racism. But they cannot wipe away centuries of oppression and injustice—however much we might desire it.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
