Description
The edition field appears not to be used in citation generation.
According to http://www.docstyles.com/apacrib.htm, it should look something like this for APA:
Strunk, W., Jr., & White, E. B. (1979). The elements of style (3rd ed.). New York: Macmillan.
I imagine most people are getting around this by entering the edition in the Title field, but if we have an Edition field, we should use it. Now, ideally it would be smart enough to understand "3", "3rd", "3rd ed", or "3rd ed." in the edition field (the GMU catalog MARC record has "4th ed" in the edition field, no period), but there's also the problem of things like "Paperback Edition" and the like. So, maybe parse if possible and otherwise just treat it as a string and stick it in the parentheses?
