A classmate, bless her, whose comp introduction the prof actually liked, emailed it to me so I could see what the hell he's looking for, as it's apparently not what I had done. The intro is two sentences about the comp, then an introduction of the evidence

I keep thinking my household library needs to be inventoried for the sake of insurance information and general knowledge. Title and author I know I need to have, but would ISBN, hardback/trade paper/pocket paper/spiral/comb binding, and height be useful information when we're building that data set?

ISBN might be good. You will definitely want publisher and year/edition for insurance purposes, particularly with anything old or rare. Maybe purchase price. Binding might be useful for valuation/replacement, as would the name of the illustrator if it's someone famous or something.

The rest depends on what you care about. Libraries generally include height in the description because that helps ensure you're looking at the copy/edition you want, but if you only have one copy of a work that's not as important. If it's just an inventory and not a searching database, linking statements for series (Harry Potter) and related works (i.e. linking P&P and Death Comes to Pemberley) won't help much unless that's something you really want to have the information for in the record.
