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.
Bracket edition statements that do not appear on the item.[1]
- 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)
