For actual physical books (as opposed to ebooks, where making the complete new version available to purchasers for errata, but usually not new editions, is common), this is usually true for logistical reasons, though issuing errata sheets (usually online now, though the practice is older but notification and distribution was harder in the past) to keep existing users up-to-date is not uncommon.
