I would have no trouble with "[2] folded letterpress leaves" in the 300 field--where explicit "letterpress" acts as a confirmation that the leaves are <i>not</i> plates. I'd go so far (self irony) as to concede that <i>inserted</i> relief illustrations could be referred to as plates (leaves or pages), even though they may have been printed in the same operation. On the other hand, I suppose general use of "plates" makes less of a demand on cataloger knowledge/judgment where a complete inventory of physical bits is of principal concern.<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><font face="'courier new', monospace">RICHARD NOBLE :: RARE MATERIALS CATALOGUER :: JOHN HAY LIBRARY</font><div><font face="'courier new', monospace">BROWN UNIVERSITY :: PROVIDENCE, R.I. 02912 :: 401-863-1187</font></div><div><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><</span><a href="mailto:RICHARD_NOBLE@BROWN.EDU" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace" target="_blank">Richard_Noble@Br</a><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><a href="http://own.edu" target="_blank">own.edu</a></span><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">></span></div></div></div>
