Information on the book comes from Neeten. There are a couple of entries in his Osho Source Book, and a deeper look in a small essay on early books about Osho. The last makes it clear that Prasad is Vitaraga, while the others give the impression that Prasad is writing an introduction to Vitaraga's book. -- doofus-9 (talk) 22:55, 29 November 2014 (PST)

A "reprint" is (usually) an exact copy of the earlier print. Then that is still the same edition.

In a new "edition", the text has (usually) been edited to a small or greater extent. Then that would be a new, next edition.

By the way, in the Wiki-field Edition no., we just note what is written in that book. If no edition number is mentioned in the colophon, then nothing is written. Exception: the known first editions of Osho's books are marked as 1, although often that is not explicitly stated as such.

In fact, the edition is often a very vague concept. E.g. a book that comes out with a new publisher will often be called "first edition", although it has been published before with another publisher. --Sugit (talk) 09:25, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
