I think it means printed in 89. Apparently it is easier for them to 
apply a whole series of numbers and then erase the last one at each 
new printing.

My early ones have something similar:

10 9 8 7 6 5 4

but the color went to B&W when they got to 10 (or restarted at 20 - 
11.)

I haven't noticed the later 1987 copyright date before. Perhaps this 
is a good sign for the color schematics coming back.  ;-)

Is the ISBN in yours the same?
