Subject: [External] [DCRM-L] German terminology for printings, impressions vs editions

I'm looking for guidance on terminology for printings & impressions vs editions in general, but especially for German-language books.

If a book is designated "3. Auflage" is that the third edition or third printing?  I had always thought Auflage was "edition." What about the terms "Eindruck" and "Ausgabe" ?

Does anyone know of good resources that explain how printings vs editions are recorded into non-US books vs how US publishers do this?
