11 printings of books is a relatively rare occurance

I remember reading about this in one of those nerdy trivia books. In the old days it was easier on the first printing to print 10 - 1 rather than just a 1, because then on the 2nd printing, rather than having to redo the whole master page with a 2 instead of a 1, they just knock the 1 off the old master.
