Anyone have any insight into Braiding Sweetgrass {2nd edition}? The disambiguation notice doesn't seem to rise to the level LT would usually want for a split: "Updated with a new introduction from Robin Wall Kimmerer, the hardcover special edition of Braiding Sweetgrass, reissued in honor of the fortieth anniversary of Milkweed Editions, celebrates the book as an object of meaning that will last the ages. Beautifully bound with a new cover featuring an engraving by Tony Drehfal, this edition includes a bookmark ribbon, and five brilliantly colored illustrations by artist Nate Christopherson"

Intro by the author and new pictures does not a new work make.

It's not a separate work, just another edition. This discussion has been had before here -> https://www.librarything.com/topic/336979#8172964

I honestly thought someone would have combined it by now, if no one does by the weekend I definitely will this time.

*and yes I have access to both copies and verified personally back in June that the differences are superficial and do not rise to the level of a separate work.

>2 Taliesien: I've been entering my wife's books into her account and came across this. I even remembered a recent discussion here about how the author writing an introduction to their own book didn't make it a new work... I didn't remember that it was precisely this same work!

I'll go ahead and make the combination.

EDIT: Oh, it's a "too much love" situation and I don't know the secret.
