There are a couple of ways to find this out!

  1. Look inside the cover on the second or third page (the Edition notice or copyright page). You'll see a copyright year (or several, for a book with multiple editions). Use the latest year.
  2. Locate the ISBN and perform a search in a library catalog, search engine (like Google), or a bookstore (like Amazon). This should bring up that edition of the book and post its published year.

  1. This is super helpful! I have barcode and QR code scanners, but obviously barcodes were not going to get me this information. I was a library rat from an early age, back when we still had to use the card catalog. I'm sure this data was stored some where deep in an archive in my brain LOL, however it was inaccessible. 😁 Thanks again for reminding me how this is done.
