Hi all,
Is something missing here? Does it have to be "of 2009"? or "the 2009 English Edition"??
Any help is appreciated

No, it's perfectly correct as it stands.

Even though we might read it as meaning 'the edition published in English in 2009', the way it is expressed in your source text is perfectly natural, normal English.
Of course, your other suggestions are also viable ways of expressing it, but the original is probably the commonest.
