Why edition choice matters
Classics are often over-served by cheap reprints and under-explained premium editions. Classic Shelf keeps the page structure ready for manually curated affiliate links without mixing format advice with scraped product copy.
Edition cards are already structured for curated bookseller links and clear disclosure.

Recommendation first, commerce second
The edition guide is allowed to earn from affiliate links, but the recommendation logic is not allowed to lean on scraped Amazon or Goodreads review data. Disclosure stays visible anywhere buying guidance appears.
