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:
“Every sign is subject to the criteria of ideological evaluation.... The domain of ideology coincides with the domain of signs. They equate with one another. Wherever a sign is present, ideology is present, too. Everything ideological possesses semiotic value.”
—V.N. (Valintin Nikolaevic)
“Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
