I just added a book edition "What just Happened" and used that as a spring board to creating the base "Book" entry. Unfortunately it looks like the ISBN I entered for the edition is showing in the Book type... this is incorrect as ISBN refers to a specific edition. Further removing it form "book" also removes the ISBN from the "Book Edition Entry" I don't know if the order I added the items, or something else I inadvertently did caused the false linkage, but irregardless,I don't believe the higher level category "Book" simply should have an ISBN property ...
ISBN confusion

It appears when I do a search for the title it brings information for both the "edition" and the "book"

It looks like, instead of creating a separate book from the edition you entered, you added "book" as a co-type to the book edition, which combines the two types for this topic. This would have happened if you selected the book edition's title from the auto-complete menu in the "edition of" field. You can flag this topic to be split by clicking the little triangle at the end of the title and selecting "split into multiple topics". We hope one day to have some logic that will prevent this sort of thing from happening accidentally, but not yet.

Thank-you... off to insert request. Until you get the 'logic' in place is it possible to add the caveat you give to the description page for each of these types... that might help keep bad data from creeping in.
