How do you guys store the initial, original published year of a book versus the publishing year of a reprint (edition)? Do they matter to you? Which one do you prefer to store in the published year?
For example Jules Verne, whose works are public domain, has at least three meaningful publishing years. For example for "20,000 Leagues Under the Seas":
- 1870 initial publishing date in French
- let's say 1980 first translation in my language, in and "old style" dialect
- let's say 1976 2nd translation, old orthography in my native language
- and finally 2012 a current reprint with changed orthography and better graphics
If I got copies of all these, how/where would you advise me to store the years?
Thanks.
