<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">The 340 field should be regarded as an index only (call it a "linked datum"), requiring support elsewhere in the record. The legacy of bookseller format (based on height and proportions, and pricing, of the bound book) is still too much with us, and all too often counterfactual as to bibliographic format--which is itself only <i>roughly</i> determinable by the criteria of rdabf (leaf-to-sheet proportion), and may be regarded as more properly related to the formes from which whole or partial sheets of paper are printed. See G.T. Tanselle's "The concept of format" (in SB 53) for good reasons not to get entangled in format much past the 1830s, unless you've got good reasons for it; and I'd guess at 1830 as a better cut-off date for Iris O'Brien's admirable suggestion, though most BL records can be rather sketchy in this respect for earlier books as well. I suspect that the field as applied by them is mostly of interest with respect to their own holdings, because it was their now long outmoded terminology for shelf size.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">As to the not always so easy to define or descry distinction of "machine-press" from "hand-press" books: all books--at least those printed from type or plates--have bibliographic format. An 1880 edition in 8s may well actually be a 32mo in 8s, but the evidence is quite subtle or simply lacking. Still, for our kind of work, the paper proportion approach is probably the most practicable. And where that can't be determined, a report of signatures (and whether or not they correspond to physical gatherings) will suffice for dcrmb records. If format cannot be or simply isn't given in physical description, 340 is not applicable.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">That said, I've been working with 20th-c. books in which the binding format, so to call it, may well be significant evidence in the distinction of printings (which may be obscured by the retention of signatures in printing plates), and I may start hunting for thread. (But I don't state a format without further evidence, and instead give the leaf height and width to the 1oth of a cm. One thing that <i>really</i> changes over the course of the c19 is measurement tolerance within batches of assembly-line binding.) Really, the criterion is: have you done your bit of RBS DesBib homework on the book?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">Apologies for not having time to shorten this.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" 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><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Nov 14, 2019 at 10:30 AM Deborah J.

but the question now is what the cut-off date should be. My suggestion would be to delete the field for everything published after 1850 but I would like to get some feedback on this to make sure the rare books community is happy with the outcome.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
