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)
