A book wishlist should identify the edition rather than just the cover

A familiar cover does not always identify the book someone wants. A title may be sold in different languages, translations, print sizes or formats. Write the author and full title first, then add the edition details that matter. If a particular translation is essential, say so plainly. When available, an ISBN can help distinguish a printed edition, but it is still worth checking the actual listing and whether the offer is for a physical book or another format.

The Chinese-language KUBADUBA wishlist can hold the suggestion alongside its shop link. Use the note to explain whether another edition is welcome or whether the exact version has a specific purpose. For a book that belongs to a series, include the volume name or number. Check the description rather than relying entirely on a thumbnail, especially when a shop groups several formats on one page. Clear edition details let a friend make an informed choice without needing to know your whole reading history.
