We've been through this before in some other thread about series. Some people think "stand-alone" means you can read this book and it will make sense to you even if you've never read anything else by this author, and there's no cliffhanger requiring you to buy another book.
Others, like Jon, think "stand-alone" should mean only a book that has nothing at all to do with any other book.
I think besides series or stand-alone we need a 3rd term to describe the type of book that makes sense on its own, but has connections to or could spoil other books if you read it first.
