I just call them all "alternative" printings. Then nobody can get super nerdy and argue with me about definitions.

I like to see them as 'Editions'..the Spanish edition, the Norwegean edition, the Turkish edition...so on...and so forth..Editions...Variants, to me anyway, are more of the same book, with tweeks, same timeframe; editions has more room to explain foreign books are counterparts of the original printing, without using the word "reprint"...just saying

These are special books for me, ONE...for the fact that I am a United States Army Combat Medic....TWO...because I am someone who is born and raised in Mexico and was in the Mexican Army.

 

The Original, and the La Prensa edition :cool:

Now you need an italian one, Ches! (thumbs u

They just printed #1-13, but they are damn hard to find, and usually command at least a whopping $90 (or more) each.

 

Do you have an example?
