Something to do with the default description. (FYI, I reverted one of your reversals, since the book now went without any description at all :) )

ETA Ah, you meant the last part of my comment. No worries!
I'm very glad we have default descriptions and I wouldn't want to do away with them. That said, I think the feature doesn't function as well as it might and I have other niggles about it, like not being able to see which editions are using the default description. However, that is a discussion that should take place in Feedback.
