Description
Why do libraries rely on notes like "ill." and "includes index" to indicate there are illustrations in the book, when `TRUE` or `FALSE` in a field makes more sense in databases?
These Edition properties could be added:
- includes illustrations
- includes index
- includes bibliographical references
- includes cataloging information (CIP)
