<font size=3>I agree with Randy on this. <br><br>
"Preface to the first edition"--P. 5-7 means to me that
those words are found on p. 5-7<br>
"Preface of the first edition": p. 5-7 means to me
that the preface to the first edition is found on p. 5-7<br><br>
I don't think I have ever seen such things as:<br><br>
"Author bibliography"--P. 31-355<br>
<br>
or<br><br>
<a name="0-0-0-2767"></a>“Generally considered to be by William
Langland<a name="0-0-0-2767"></a>”: Oxford companion to English
literature<br><br>
There is a difference in these 2 kinds of punctuation.<br><br>

would have <br>
to capitalize the "P.")<br><br>
This implies, to me, that the phrase "Preface to the first
edition"<br>
spans <br>
pages 5 through 7, which is obviously absurd. <br><br>
<br>
Does the format of the above quoted note have the same implication
to<br>
the<br>
rest of the RBMS community as it does to Mr. Brandt? I'm afraid I
use<br>
this<br>
format all the time. To me it implies text with the title "Preface
to<br>
the<br>
first edition" can be found on p. 5-7. Is this wrong?<br><br>
Thanks in advance,<br><br>
Will.</font></blockquote></body>
