<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">An Annotation is where someone has written a note that isn’t really addressed to anyone else. I would assume an Inscription would be something different, but if not a presentation inscription I’m not exactly
sure what it would be. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Please do not put a 500 on the OCLC master record unless, maybe, you have one of two existing copies of the book. I think it just creates clutter to add local notes on master records, especially related to provenance
matters like this. If it has something to do with the descriptive cataloging of the item (say pagination), then it makes more sense to put it on the master record.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Not sure what to say about the RBMS heading. I would say if it is an inscription you don’t need to add Autograph, because one can usually assume that an inscription will be signed. As for the difference between
presentation inscriptions and inscriptions, that is difficult. I don’t think I’ve seen a lot of inscriptions that couldn’t be called presentation inscriptions, though I’m sure they do exist.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Christopher’s point is a good one. Sometimes you have a copy that you know was presented by the author to someone though there is no handwritten inscription. Presentation copy is the best heading for that.
