<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1f497d">I agree with Richard. What you've described are variant states of an issue and should not be on different records. If, say, there was a statement on the title page
about changes or revisions, then you'd probably be dealing with different issues, which would require a new record according to DCRM(B).

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hello All,<br>
<br>
I think I may have an unrecognized variant of <i>De la prothèse immédiate, appliquée a la résection des maxillaires</i> (1889) by Claude Martin.<br>
<br>
The records in OCLC all have the pagination as x, 440 pages, but the copy I have is vi, 440 pages, the Roman numerals in both cases representing the preface.<br>
<br>
Compared to the digitized copy at The Internet Archive ( <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__archive.org_stream_delaprothseimm00mart-23page_n9_mode_2up&d=CwMDaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=z7NicJkNYFkVLEcQmeSRBA7uLawvKWXubuodzMMWnVw&m=JwbtaCwq5TC_5X0YXjxD847PzYksFGnanWHZmF84wWI&s=2l7AwrFRybr2SBQ7IKfO9qzdYqUYfnkxMRNkNmEfINU&e=" target="_blank">
http://archive.org/stream/delaprothseimm00mart#page/n9/mode/2up</a> ), the content of the preface in my copy is the same, but is set in a smaller font, taking less space. The title page, colophon, and main text block appear to be the same.
<br>
<br>
Is this a variation worthy of a new record? Or should I use the existing NLM record in OCLC, and just make a change in the local catalog (with appropriate notation, of course).<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
Barbara<br>
