Would FRBR help? Does it get to the level of stating whether it's
acceptable to describe an incomplete manifestation in the main body of
the record?

This is an interesting question. We do the same, even though sometimes
we only have a title page (legacy of Halliwell-Phillipps' scrapbooking).
And even though that particular note, as with all notes on
imperfections, is always the first note, I also am uncomfortable.
What would alternatives be? Catalog the single leaf(ves) as themselves,
with links to the larger work? Maybe the latter as uniform title?

Has anyone approached the cataloging of an individual leaf (or leaves)
in a manner in which the physical description reflects only what you
have (vs. DCRM(B) 5B1.1)? The question is prompted by a loan request in
which the requester did not realize that our "copy" was merely two
leaves of a publication. This information is stated in a local note, but
one of our public services librarians feels that this is not a very user
friendly way of saying we have only two leaves.
Thanks,
Ryan
