I agree with Randy on this.  

"Preface to the first edition"--P. 5-7  means to me that those words are
found on p. 5-7
"Preface of the first edition": p. 5-7   means to me that the preface to the
first edition is found on p. 5-7

I don't think I have ever seen such things as:

"Author bibliography"--P. 31-355
 
or

"Generally considered to be by William Langland": Oxford companion to
English literature

There is a difference in these 2 kinds of punctuation.

No, I confess that I do not get the same inference from the format of
"Preface to the first edition"--P. 5-7 as does Randy. As far as I'm
aware, I've always treated words within quotation marks the same,
whether they're quoting the location of a string of words or indicating
the location of a section by its title.

Mr. Brandt wrote:

  "Preface to the first edition"--P. 5-7. (and, yes, you would have 
to capitalize the "P.")

This implies, to me, that the phrase "Preface to the first edition"
spans 
pages 5 through 7, which is obviously absurd. 


Does the format of the above quoted note have the same implication to
the
rest of the RBMS community as it does to Mr. Brandt? I'm afraid I use
this
format all the time. To me it implies text with the title "Preface to
the
first edition" can be found on p. 5-7.  Is this wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Will.
