Watch out for deceptive phrases publishers may use. An edition statement reflecting a publisher's subsidiary does not justify creation of a new record. Consider examples like the following to be insignificant.
First Harcourt paperback edition.University paperback edition.

- Examples:
2nd ed.(Item says: Second edition)[Mass-market pbk. ed.](Item has no edition statement)1st Thorndike large print ed.(Item says: First Thorndike large print edition)[Large print ed.](Item has no edition statement)
