Buying first one and then later another copy of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"

In July 2007, I bought "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" the night it was released. In August, my wife and I began to read the series to our seven-year-old son Miles. Whenever we had no time to read to him, he just read it himself. One morning in November,

The information I can find online does not match what I find on the copyright page of my books.

Would they change the ISBN for a second printing in the same year? There are no other numbers on the page and no other indicators. I really wish they would specifically state first printing.

Well, shit! I just realized my copy of #Parasite is a #FirstEdition!

Now, I’m even more excited for it, but also more bummed that it’s in such rough shape.

Let’s not hope that crazy monetisation learns about this and offers overpriced „collectible sets“ with all glasses from the same mould. Although, #Duralex, it’s a nice idea to generate some money from weirdos. Factory sealed collector packs. Hm. And the very special #FirstEdition packs whenever a new mould goes into production. A #FinalEdition pack with pieces of the destroyed mould. Damn. It’s actually a good plan when done by Duralex themselves.
