This is completely off topic. But after seeing an auction for a first
edition Book #3, I was curious about these numbers. How does one determine
which edition of a book he or she has? For my h/c Book #3 I see this:

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 9/9 0/0 1 2 3 4
Printed in U.S.A 37
First American edition, October 1999

I think I was a little late to the Harry Potter Party since the first
printing of Book #3 was probably September 1999. Just interested in how
this works.

Thanks.
