</font></div><div class="gmail_default" style><font face="georgia, serif">The record below raises a few dcrmb/rda questions that I can only discuss with similarly obsessed colleagues, none of whom happens to work in the same place I do.</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style><font face="georgia, serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default" style><font face="georgia, serif">Evans is essentially treated as a corporate body, as if he were Robert H. Evans (Firm), and in that case one could(?) use the designator "issuing body". The combination of publisher and purpose of the publication is of course analogous to standard practice with Sotheby's et al., but has been forced in this case by the override of the imprint. The result is inferential, and the place</font><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">, possibly </span><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">(which actually relates to Bulmer)</span><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"> and certainly the publisher ought to have been bracketed, with Bulmer in $f.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></span></div><div class="gmail_default" style><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">I could simply designate Evans as "auctioneer", of course. The real question has to do with </span><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">excluding the "printed imprint" from its proper area in order to name Evans as publisher (Bulmer ought, of course, to have been entered in $f, if it's really necessary to have Evans in $b). Would one also do this with 264? That is, a 264 b1 for Evans (brackets, I should think) and 264 b3 for Bulmer? What a mess that makes if we start overriding such imprints in pre-1820 books, perhaps routinely entering 264 b1 [publisher not identified] and 264 b3 whenever the imprint names or seems to name only a the printer. I hope that the qualifications expressed in DCRM(B) 4A6 n13 will continue in force.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></span></div><div class="gmail_default" style><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">Does the title page transcription need transposition to place the date etc. of the auction in 260 $b (it's not really analogous to the example in DCRM(B) 1D2.1)? Thirty-one years at this game, and I am still baffled by the disconnects between cataloging and bibliography ... Another instance where we need one set of fields for information derived from titles, etc. and another for actual direct transcription; or is transcription soon to made obsolete in favor of visual reproduction?</span></div>
