On the copyright pages in many books I find the following "countdown" numbers and I am wondering what the significance of this is? In a non-fiction book I have, "The Call of the Mild" it looks like: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 But in a fiction book, "Homeward Bound" it is: 1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2 which rather looks like some sort of odd vs even thing, and not a "countdown". It looks like it might have something to do with the edition, but what is this?
