1.
expanded edition; enlarged edition
A new edition of a book in which additional content has been added to the original text — for example extra chapters, updated data, new illustrations, or a supplementary appendix. Distinct from a mere reprint, and usually advertised on the cover as evidence that the book has grown since its first publication.
Compound of 増補 ('adding to and supplementing') and 版 ('edition'). Used specifically when a later edition of a book includes material that was not in the original — extra chapters, new data, updated references, or bonus content — rather than when it simply fixes errors.
Usage
- Typically appears on book covers and in publisher catalogs, often as part of longer titles like 増補改訂版 ('expanded and revised edition').
- Used for reference works, textbooks, essay collections, and scholarly monographs where content is added over time.
- Not used for simple reprints or editions that only correct typos.
