Open Library's index answers about the work. Its publishers, languages, first year and median page count are every edition's at once, and the first of each is usually another edition's: ISBN 9780140447934, the Penguin Classics War and Peace, came back Spanish, from W.W. Norton, in 1845. The index is now asked only for what is true of the work (title, subtitle, authors, subjects). A record from it is never complete, so lookup always goes on to the edition record for container, language, year and pages, then Google Books for whatever the edition record does not say. A field neither gives is left out rather than filled from the work. Closes #6.
