Why has the Aquitarian Book section done away with the options such as 1st Edition, Pate Printed?

Since I'm primarily interested in rare first editions of books it presents a step backwards that eBay has removed the options selections which allow collectors to refine their search. If I want to review review the 16th century 1st edition of a book it used to be efficient to simple select the parameters to refine the filter. What am I supposed to do now? Type a long monologue with all the specifications in the search box and hope I get lucky.

I'd love to hear the rationale behind this big step backwards.

I suspect this is a glitch. Search refinements or filters have disappeared recently on many categories on ebay.ca where they are essential to the buyer experience. Until they return, try the same search on ebay,com but beware of currency conversions.
