Describe the actual copy.
Save the binding, edition, printing, signature, and special-edition details. The cover image identifies the book; your record describes the copy in your hands.
BUILT AROUND THE COPY YOU OWN
One title.
Every copy.
The paperback that goes everywhere. The signed hardcover that stays at home. Keep the details of both, without one replacing the other.

A $2 BOOK IS WORTH RECORDING TOO
It doesn’t have
to be a first edition.
Bookshelf works for the worn paperback you found at a library sale. Add it by hand, save your own cover photo, and keep the details you find useful.
No barcode is required for manual entry. You can leave edition and printing unknown until you have a reason to check them.
Your copies count.
Two physical copies count as two collected books. In a supported series guide, they count as one title toward completing the set. Both views have their place.
