No, ‘1 Tide Rising’ is in one of a number of printings (7)

I believe the answer is:

edition

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one of a number of printings' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'no 1 tide rising' is the wordplay.
'no 1' becomes 'no i' (resembles No 1).
'rising' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (letters written upwards in a down clue).
'noi'+'tide'='noitide'
'noitide' reversed gives 'EDITION'.

'is in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for edition that I've seen before include "One version of a published text" , "Total numbers issued at one time, say of book" , "Total number of copies issued (of book)" , "Particular version of a published text" , "copy of work" .)
