Yeah I think it would be ok to call it a second edition, however you need to be able to explain why you did not get it right in the first edition. This action presents an image problem so you need to weigh which is more damaging having copies of your work in circulation with errors in them or correcting them and being precieved as having inadequate editing. If you decide to go with the later then the simplest thing to do is to claim on your web site and/or public that you have made changes to your editing process to ensure that this sort of thing does not happen again. You will most likely need to describe the changes that you have made to the editing process such as hiering an editior. In politics we call this damage control and most every industry out there needs to lean to do this. For the future I would seek out other book authors and learn how they acomplish damage control and how they have structured their editing process.
