Core rulebooks and supplements are primarily composed of rules, and tend to be replaced quickly when a new edition of the game is released. They can be difficult to use with other editions. First, Second, and Third edition were pretty similar, while the Fourth and 20th Anniversary editions were quite different than the first three. Fifth edition built on the Fourth/20th anniversary, while Sixth edition again makes a number of changes to the core rules. Shadowrun Anarchy is almost a different system entirely.
Sourcebooks are a mix of rules and setting. As such, they contain setting information applicable to any edition of the game, and statistics that may need a little updating. Foreign language editions of sourcebooks often contain additional content relating to local variants on the topic in question. Sometimes even whole original books have been published concentrating solely on providing local source material.
