@please55 - for regular books I try to put the original publisher and publication date into publisher and pubdate, otherwise I leave them empty - so for the example you cited I would have 'William Heinemann Ltd' and '1968'

Why - well IMO an original publisher (e.g. Heinemann) probably did a lot more to bring the book to fruition than any republisher (e.g. Penguin) ever did - therefore I prefer to give them the angstrom of kudos a publisher might get from having their name in my catalogue :lol:
