Mark,
The Bb and Eb editions are for players of transposing instruments (like
Bb trumpet and Eb alto saxophone).
Is it perhaps that everything in the Eb edition is a minor third
higher and everything in the Bb edition is a major second lower
Other way around -- Bb edition is up a step, Eb edition is down a minor
third (or up a major sixth, depending).
The various keyed books are meant to be used by the different
instruments so they can work together -- trumpet/tenorsax/clarinet play
from the Bb book, alto sax from the Eb book, etc.
For playing piano you'd most likely want to use the C edition, unless
you plan on singing along, in which case perhaps your vocal range lies
higher or lower than the C book.
