The book (or written work) that this is an edition of. The "Book" type represents the most abstract level of thinking about the work -- unlike the Book Edition type, which has properties that will vary from publication to publication, the properties of Book represent those which are always true -- author, date of first publication, series membership, etc. Note also that one Book may have been published under a variety of titles, so the title of the Book that this is an edition of may be different from that of the edition (e.g. U.S. editions of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" have all been titled "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone").

The name of the author as printed in the publication; this is a way to record the name that a given work was published under (which may be different than the author's canonical name in Freebase).

Individual contributors of articles, stories, chapters, etc. to a book such as an anthology, textbook, etc. should be listed here, rather than in the "author/editor" property.

If this edition contains additional material not in other editions, the editor can be entered here. Note that this property should not be used for the person who edited the book this is an edition of. For example, if this is an edition of an anthology ,the editor of the anthology should not be entered in this property. However, if this is an annotated or critical edition of a book, the editor of this edition should be entered in this property.

The publisher or imprint that published this edition.

The date (if known) that this edition was first published. This will be the same as the Date of First Publication of the book if this is the first edition.

This will usually be a city, listed on the title page.

The pub_id of this edition at the Internet Speculative Fiction Database (www.isfdb.org)

Some book editions are part of a series, such as the Oxford Sherlock Holmes, Harvard Library, Norton Classics, Arden Shakespeare, etc. This type of series generally originates with a publisher, and should only be used for series specific to this edition of the book, not of the book as a whole. For example, a topic for the Norton Critical edition of Shakespeare's "Henry IV, Part 1" would be entered as part of the book edition series "Norton Critical Editions"; the topic for the play itself, however, is would be entered as being a part of the literary series "Henriad."
