[DCRM-L] Clarification regarding illustrated title pages

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Will et al.,

DCRM(B) allows for significant illustrations on the title page to be
considered illustrations. The editors were thinking of things like an
author's portrait, or a graphic illustrative of the text in some way. If
an illustrated title page has an illustration on it, you could consider
it "ill." However, illustrated title pages rarely have illustrations in
the normal sense of the word.

I'm still trying to absorb DCRM(B), so forgive this basic question.

Does 5C1.4 now allow for illustrated title pages to be treated as
illustrations? (i.e. may we put "ill." in $b of the 300 field?)

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Will
