Year published is the year the book was published or revised.
If an edition is sold out and the publisher and author decide to revise it, the latest edition, with a new ISBN will be supplied. The price may change. Therefore, the number of the printing is of no consequence to the student. Bar codes for all books begin with 978. If you live outside the borders of South Africa, VAT will be deducted as soon as you place your books in the shopping basket.
