I've recently purchased a book from Amazon, and I was curious as to when it was printed. I looked at the copyright page, which looks like this:  The biggest year number shown in this page is 1991, where it says "Reprinted in Penguin Books 1991". Can I deduce that the book was printed in 1991? I would consider that quite incredible; that would mean that the book was printed, put in a warehouse (or several warehouses) for **22 years** , and only then sold to me. Could that be true? (Note: I couldn't find a year number anywhere else in the book.)
