Hello all!

A trade edition is usually a smaller or standard paper size edition of
the same text. Reader's Digest, for example, often publishes several
novels together in a larger than usual paperback--the size is such
that they haven't had to cut down the paper from it's stock size,
which usually makes it slightly cheaper than the traditional paperback
size.

Hi All,
 
In my quest to replace my spiral-bound 8th Edition of The Gregg
Reference Manual, I reached out to all of you regarding its ISBN.
Interestingly, both Marylyn Calabrese and Reva Daniel replied with two
different ISBNs for supposedly the same book.  When I asked Reva about
those, she discovered that Marylyn's is a "spiral trade edition" while
hers represents a "spiral bound text edition." 
 
Would any of you know what those descriptive differences mean?  And
for those of you ordering any kind of books who may not be aware of
this, different ISBNs exist for similar publications.
 
Confusing and interesting!  Thanks again for all your assistance and
sympathy.
 
Linda
