Transcription of edition statements

• "Edition" statements often really impression statements
• Transcribed as if true edition statements in DCRB; less clear in AACR2
• Transcribed as found in DCRB; abbreviated in AACR2
• Source noted in DCRB if other than t.p.; not noted in AACR2
• Statements with multiples of "thousands" problematic
  • Both DCRB & AACR2 instruct to supply words if statement has only numbers
  • Which words to supply?
