[DCRM-L] wormholes

[Noble, Richard]

Larry's on the right track (and I think it's a perfectly serious matter
that the title of a thesaurus has proved to be somewhat misleading).
It's hard not to be wordy, but perhaps something on the order of
"Provenance, use, treatment and other evidence in books", or "Evidence
of ownership, use, treatment, etc." Even without "etc." that seems to
indicate the range of phenomena, including the consequences of neglect,
abuse, and interference.

Perhaps the Provenance Evidence list might be named something like
"Post-Production Evidence." It seems to me that we are generally talking
about changes in a specific physical item after binding, whether these
be worming or annotations or whatever.

"Extra-illustrated copies" would become so pre-binding or at least
before a final binding (if the extra illustrations are inserted into a
book issued in a publisher's binding), so they would be an exception or
would need to go into another thesaurus.

The term "Copy-specific evidence" might be appropriate except that it
would logically include binding terms for early and some later books.

Anyway, a thought.
