Clearly highlight the existence of a new edition of a book

Anderson Abreu

Some books in the store that have a new edition contain text and a link to the new edition, but this is hidden. I recently bought an outdated grammar because there wasn't even this (hidden) notice for the new edition. As I realized too late, customer service wouldn't accept the exchange.

That's why I think it should be standard to have a clear and prominent notice (with a red background) signaling the existence of a new edition of a book.

For example, in Douglas Moo's James Commentary there is a note below the book with a link to the second edition. But that note needs to be in a more prominent position and color. And/or there could be a confirmation request when buying, if I'm sure I want to buy an old edition instead of the new one.

However, in “Going Deeper with New Testament Greek” (2016) there is no sign that there is a new edition (2nd edition, 2020).
The problem is compounded by the fact that when I search the grammar with the title and subtitle, the store only shows me the old edition (full of errors). I can only get to the new edition by just searching for the title. That was the cause of my error. I would never have imagined that if I searched for the same book by title alone or with the title and subtitle I would get different results on the site.

In the image above there is no note for the new edition.

In the image above, when I search by title and subtitle, I can't find the new edition.

In the image above, when I search only for the title, I finally don't find the new edition.

So this issue of the store needs to be improved so that we don't buy an old edition while we can buy the new one.

In many cases, like this grammar one, it doesn't even make sense to keep the old edition on sale. It should be kept on the site so that former buyers can see it and know that they have it, but it should be blocked from purchase as happens with some products (see example below).

Only in a few specific cases does someone want to read an old edition of a work. I'm sure no one wants to read this modern grammar in an edition that came out with errors and made the author/publisher release a new one in a short time.

Below is a work that is not available to buy because there is a better and more complete edition:

Only in very rare cases, a classic work, a version of the Bible, will someone want to buy an old edition of a book.
