Well, you probably could tell the difference between a
paperback and a hardcover. Telling the difference
between a library edition and a trade edition is more
difficult, even for us sighted people. Most library
editions don't seem to have as nice covers as trade
editions, but I may be wrong about that. Sometimes
the book itself will say what it is on the copyright
page. In the case of My Friend Rabbit, I'm guessing.
The cover looks so nice, I assumed it was the trade
edition and I used that ISBN number, but I maaay be
wrong. I think i did have a paper cover, though, and I
think trade editions have paper over the book and the
library edition maybe just has a hardcover without the
paper cover over it. But again, I'm just guessing. It
doesn't really matter, though; for bookshare you can
even leave the ISBN number space blank.
