AGLC4 Rule 6.3.3: Revised Editions
A revised, expanded or updated edition that has no new edition number is marked rev ed. With an edition number, rev ed follows it after a space; without one, rev ed follows the publisher after a comma. A first edition ordinal is added only where the book itself states it.

Formatting
- rev ed is lower case and has no full stops.
- It is used for editions described as revised, expanded or updated.
- With an edition number, rev ed follows the superscript ordinal after a space.
- Without an edition number, rev ed follows the publisher after a comma and is itself followed by a comma before the year.
- An unnumbered revised edition is usually a revision of the first edition, but the first ordinal is shown only if the book states it.
