I notice that for two albums the printing has changed from 2nd to 1st edition.
I had deliberately put these albums on 2nd edition, because I had heard from the publisher that 1st edition is the Luxe albums, and the normal 2nd edition.
That is also stated in the book itself.
At least: it says 1st edition 2008, 2nd edition 2008,
Then I sent the publisher an email asking how this can be done now. With the answer that the deluxe are 1st edition.
Regarding Marten Toonder - Let that be a lesson, and Marten Toonder - A simple gesture.

The message above caught my eye. It is not very clear what is first and what is second (and third) press.
The handle I would use is the ISBN number. In Group 4 the title is indicated there.
In the present "Let that be a lesson" it is ISBN number 978-90-234-2970-8.
Let's forget 978 for a moment. 90 stands for the country code, 234 for the publisher and producer indication (De Bezige Bij in this case), 2970 is the title indication and 8 stands for a check digit (a mathematical formula is used for this).
I want that title indication take effect in the present case. With the deluxe edition, the title designation is 2975. A higher number than the regular edition. Does it make sense that the regular edition is the first edition?

As I explained in the details, this time the publisher used a very curious edition numbering. So it is debatable to call the books in Catawiki first edition, but also confusing to call them second edition.
It is a pity that such a publisher is going his own lonely path…
