I have only been collecting for about a year or so and I am learning all the time.
I saw in a recent post of your that when you are finding an edition of a book lower case letters came after uper case. Example - "ABCDEFG" = 1st edition and "abcdefg" = 27th edition is this correct? For some reason (and I do not know where I got this idea - I may have dreamed it LOL) I thought "A" and "a" were both first editions and if it had a "AA" or "aa" it would be a 27th edition. If a book has "aa" would this book actually be a 53rd edition?
I also want to add that this site has been so much help. I come around every few days to check the post. Thanks to everyone !!
Thank you Goldhunt for your help on this edition thing.

The capital letter ABCD comes first. The lower case letter abcd comes second AND the doubles aa bb cc or AA BB CC I believe are also second . The little golden book usually have the first example.The golden guides and stamp books are examples of the second description.
I do not believe I've ever found an a as a first edition.
