Elizabeth (Alaska) When there is more than one piece of information to add to the Edition field, is there an established and/or preferable way of presenting the information?

Large Print - Annotated

Illustrated, Annotated

Dash or comma or something else between the words? Or does it not matter ...

Scott | 8696 comments I like commas because commas are already used in that area.


Elizabeth (Alaska) The dash is clearer to me when I try to read it. I have done it both ways, and I can see your logic, Scott. I just wondered if Goodreads had a preference.

Suzi | 8661 comments I prefer commas myself, because dashes don't translate well in every webpage view. It works better these days but my old fashioned computer speak taught me not to use dashes and now it's just habit.

Sandra | 31413 comments I use a slash / as commas sometimes don't translate well and run into the next category. Especially if someone has just used a 1 for the edition number.
