Typo in Description - do all editions need to be corrected?

[Jennifer]

I found a typo in the description of Bright of the Sky (Entire and the Rose #1) by Kay Kenyon. At the end of the synopsis, the book is compared to Dan Simmons's Hyperion, but Dan Simmons is spelled Dan Dimmons. I corrected one edition, but noticed that the other 3 English editions have the same typo. Is the correct method of doing this to edit each description individually?

It's usually easier to set the corrected version as the default description (with the checkbox just below) and the use the set-to-default option on any of the others not already so set.

Not a big difference with a small typo like this case, but it's definitely easier when you have corrected several in one description.

I often find however that the default description, which has been applied to all editions, doesn't apply to the edition I have. E.g. it references an introduction by a different scholar, or it says it's a new updated edition when I have the original edition, etc.

If that is the case, a different (or edited) description should be set to default.

I believe the default edition is automatically set sometimes when one edition has a description and another does not and they get combined. But sometimes the one that gets so selected is not optimal.
