In the UK we avoid this problem by refering to first editions and reprints.
eg 2nd reprint, 3rd reprint or when there are many reprints '65 reprint. I
collect many books on the 2nd hand market not just HP and I would expect  it
to say revised followed by a date if there was any alteration, editing etc.
As far as HP goes doesn't the value also depend on whether the bnook wa
spublished in ST Ives or Glasgow or is that just the luxury ed of PoA. My
sister has the first ed (1st printing US speak) but the ST Ives ed not the
Glasgow.
