I've come across a several books in one of my institution's collections that have shared provenance and printed waste endpapers that came from the same source.<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">

</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
My question: would it be appropriate to create a linking field that points to the work that the endpapers were taken from? Something like:</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
700 1_ : |i Container of (work): |a Espinosa, Isidro Felix de, |d 1679-1755. |t Compendio de la vida marabillosa del gloriosissimo padre S. Francisco de Assisi. |5 C-S</div>

<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
The goal would be to make it possible to search books whose printed waste comes from the same work. I want to say "an incomplete copy of this one book exists as the end papers of multiple other books."</div>

<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Has anyone come across something similar--printed waste from a single text used in bindings for multiple books--and tried to create links/associations between those different books in some way?</div>
