<P class=MsoNormal>I have a few philosophical questions for those of you who
catalog unique (1 of 1) artists' books. Do you treat them as published works? In
particular, how do you formulate field 260, and why do you do it this way?<O:P>
<BR></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>In the strange territory of artists' books what constitutes
publication?<O:P> <BR></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>(FYI, I am inclined to regard them as published, but just
barely.)<BR></P>
