No, it isn't the same thing, but insofar as usage--perhaps especially with popular rather than scholarly material--the copyright date is used by the publishers as the same thing. In our practice titles with copyright dates but no explicit publicating date or distribution date constitute the majority of titles-- and not by just a little. This seems to me to be largely a distinction in search of a difference. Mike Tribby Senior Cataloger Quality Books Inc.
