<p class="elementToProof" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">Hello all,</span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">(I wasn’t sure if I should post this here or AUTOCAT. This is a modern book; we are not treating it as “rare” or using DCRM(b) to catalog
it. But it is a unique copy and my question is similar to others that often come up with rare materials. Let me know if you’d prefer that I post it on AUTOCAT instead.)</span></p>

<p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">We’re creating an original record for a cookbook. The copy is a spiral-bound volume with considerable damage. The back cover is missing
and several of the leaves at the end are partly torn from the spiral binding.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">The last leaf in this copy has a verso with page number 248 and is a section for the reader to add handwritten notes. It’s not clear if
this is actually the last leave of the original publication or if other leaves with numbered pages are missing from the copy in hand.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">Does anyone have any recommendations regarding how to handle the 300 $a and 5XX fields to show that the cataloger was unsure if they had
a complete copy in hand?</span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">The book was published in 1986, and the publisher no longer exists; otherwise, I would reach out to them.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!</span></p>
