I just came across this article-

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/030603/80/e1ep0.html

Of course I can't afford nor do I need such an edition, but I did 
notice the slight difference in the shape of this book and the 
current UK printings of PS, most notably because I have copies in 
both formats. 

The older edition (at least I'm assuming it's older) is about an 
inch smaller both (tall and wide) and slightly larger(thicker). I 
was give this smaller edition by a friend, and although it is the UK 
edition it came from Germany (being the English edition sold 
there)...when did the format change, and was it before or after the 
other books came out, because I have yet to see CoS or PoA in such 
an edition.

Mine which is not a first edition (although I'm not sure how one 
knows) has a 10 9 at the bottom of the publishing info page. Does 
this mean it's the 10th printing of the 9th edition or something of 
the sort? 

I'm confused...
