<font size=3>I think it is correct as it stands. It is an informal
contents note, not a quotation note. It is saying that on pages 5-7 you
will find the text called "Preface to the first edition." If it
were a quotation, it would give only a single page number and the
punctuation would be as Alex suggests.<br><br>

I second Will's comments, and add one more:<br><br>
The example in 2B5.2 reads:<br>
Optional note: "Preface to the first edition": p.
5-7<br><br>
Should the colon after the closing quotation mark be replaced by a<br>
double <br>
dash, following 7A4.2?<br><br>
