Few of these will have survived independently, but sometimes the same printing of ads will turn up in copies of manifestations of different works, or different manifestations of the same work.</div><div><br></div><div>Just another area where OCLC's master record approach creates real issues for those interested in printing/publishing matters.</div><div><br></div><div>John Lancaster</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On 2017 Jun 30, at 17:07, Noble, Richard <<a href="mailto:richard_noble@brown.edu">richard_noble@brown.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">The example cited <i>is</i> a "machine-press" book (Lee & Shepard was established in 1862), noted in response because "also applies to machine-press books" would seem to imply that this is not such a book.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">Anyway, advertisements will almost always (a little whimper of an "almost", that) be found, often in multiple forms, in multiples of copies; and it is especially in machine-press books that non-integral advertisements may be regarded as evidence of conditions of issue that ought not to be overlooked in manifestation-level description.<br><br>I'm in favor of the quasi-copy-level--call it "sub-manifestation"?--note (500 with $5) that accounts for such evidence, since 590s are now invisible outside institutional databases, a survey of which is seldom practicable or economically defensible in the course of cataloging that might otherwise benefit from the information--that is, make for a better informed account of the copy-in-hand, advertisements and all.<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="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>

as part of the publication text block. Evidence is provided by: integral nature of the adverts to gatherings of text, continuous paging, continuous signatures, or a catchword connecting the adverts to the text. (The last condition will be added to DCRM(B)
the next time it is updated.) <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">For example:<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">300 ǂa 245, [1] p. <…><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">590 ǂa UW-Madison copy: [6] pages of publisher's advertisements at end with caption "List of books recently published by Lee & Shepard."

I'm not sure about 20th-century practices, but in the 19th century, advertisements were added to text
blocks at the binding stage. An excellent illustration of varying adverts can be found by comparing the several digitized copies of An American girl abroad (1872) available from Hathi Trust:
