There seems to be some confusion about when and how to edit Large Print listings.
If a listing already has the Large Print designation right below the Book Type on the main book page,
then just make sure it has (Large Print) or (Larger Print) added to the title field.
If you are working on a listing that you think should be marked as large print but is not, or
one that is not listed as large print that you think should be: Search LOTS of websites; especially Alibris, Abebooks, Powells, Biblio, WorldCat, LoC, eBay,
FantasticFiction, and Fictiondb. There are links to these sites in the guidelines, which can be found here:

As you probably know, it is not unusual for a publisher to use the same ISBN for different editions of a book,
so if you find listings for both Large Print and regular editions under the same ISBN, the PBS listing will NOT be changed.
If, after searching, you are convinced that it needs to be changed to or changed from Large Print:
--that is, all the websites you check show the ISBN as Large Print and PBS does not
/or/
the websites you check do not show the ISBN as Large Print and PBS does--
send a PM to me or to Sherry:
Sherry N (royaltech) Data Team Co-coordinator, Anna B (classicana) Data Team Co-coordinator.
We will verify the information and decide whether we can authorize (or deny) a change, or whether it must be sent to the PBS Team for that decision. Any edit changing the designation to, or from, large print must have a note in the Reason for Edit box advising the Approver
that the change has been approved by Sherry or by me.
If you have any questions at all about this, please contact me by PM. I'd be happy to help you.
