Publication History Warning
One thing to note about Grafton imprint publications is that they will often list ALL prior editions by ANY imprint owned by Collins at the time. Very useful, except that they list them all as by Grafton. E.g. for the first "Foundation and Empire" printing of 1990 their edition says "Published by Grafton Books 1962. Reprinted 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969 (twice), 1971 (twice), 1973 (twice), 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979 (twice), 1981, 1982, 1983 (three times), 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988 (twice), 1989 (twice), 1990". This actually covers all THESE printings we have recorded: and therefore casts a little doubt about our 1972 edition but confirms others.

Creating all prior editions/printings from a publishing history like that is therefore discouraged: publication level notes are fine, recording such in title level notes may be appropriate.
