Also, when adding an edition with a publisher, shouldn't it automatically also make a relation between that publisher and the edition? Why is there a separate publisher field in addition to relations?

so the publisher field / publisher relationship is a left over from old database model

I'm not 100% about if we are depreciating the relationship but I think that is

LupinIII: So for Bloomsbury Archer, which is both a UK and US imprint, would the area be the country of the owner (i.e. UK for Bloomsbury Publising Plc) even though the imprint is used across borders?
