QUESTION: Is your impression later than 4?

QUESTION: Which edition is velmeran's third impression? He gives the ISBN and the number and never the publisher edition, and this number carries three. It sits on the 1992 here, which tolkienbooks.net closes at three impressions, so it can be that edition's own third. But it opens a run — 3, 5, 6, 8, 13 and on to a sixty-fifth — that is otherwise the 1999 edition's, and the 1999 edition's own third would sit in the runic-arch printing that runs to a fourth. Its price, CAN $10.99, matches neither the 1999 rows around it nor anything else recorded here, which is the one thing that argues for leaving it where it is. — of this ISBN
