How to read copyright dates

Rwingates · #1 Oct 15, 2006, 02:50 AM

I have this old book that I would like to know when it was printed, but I cannot read the dates. It has three dates that are MCMXXV----MCMXXVIII---MCMLV. Could one of your experts please tell me what those letters mean and what order is the one you go by to date it.
