I became a little circumspect , since it was mentioned Second Edition , Copyright 2009 .
Just a quick note on that - we've definitely made some tweaks here and there since 2009 but no major overhaul on that book (Reading Comprehension as a genre hasn't changed at all). And if anyone were to change that date it would have to be me (I'm the keeper of the master book files), and I haven't bothered with changing the copyright dates unless it's a completely new book. Any new version that you purchase today has probably been updated in the last six months with little fixes, some extra sidebar guidance, etc., but that date won't change until it's a major "your book is different from the 2009 version so you might not be able to follow along" overhaul.
I don't know if that's proper editorial protocol, but changing any text on those title pages in editorial software is such a pain in the neck that I'm not doing it unless I absolutely have to!
