Nowhere in the quoted paragraph nor in the entire Editions section in that
website is the word "limited" mentioned, which I thought was the issue at
hand since you mentioned in a previous post that you could issue multiple
"limited editions".
I'm well aware that the word "edition" itself does NOT imply LIMITED. But
the philosophy and definitions applied to editions cannot be applied to
LIMITED EDITIONS. Numbered editions don't have any limits, apparently.
So we stand apart on the issue, which is okay with me. I did find it very
interesting that the word limited appears nowhere on that website you
quoted; it seems that marketing has once more overpowered art.
