[DCRM-L] Editions in notes only

[Laurence Creider]

Folks,

I am cataloging a few cloth books.

One item in hand almost completely matches OCLC #191234957, a very nice 
record input by the AAS.  The description portion of this record is:

245 00 Cinderella. 260 New York, : ?b McLoughlin Brothers publishers, ?c 
[1869?] 300 [12] p. : ?b col. ill. ; ?c 20 cm. 490 1 Aunt Friendly's 
colored picture books 500 Title, imprint, and series statement transcribed 
from p. [1] of wrapper. Series title transposed from head of wrapper. 500 
Illustrations signed "J.H. 69" (i.e., Justin Howard, 1869?). "The 
wonderful adventures of Humpty Dumpty, in two volumes issued late in fall 
of 1869."--publisher's advertisement, lower cover. 500 Wrapper printed in 
red and black ink. 500 Color illustrations produced by a relief process 
(zinc etching?). 500 Last page blank. 500 "Picture books for little 
children."--publisher's advertisement, p. [4] of wrapper.

Where my item differs is that the last page is not blank and that the 
entire item is printed on Linen and has that word on the top of the 
cover/wrapper.  What the AAS calls the wrapper is in the same material as 
the rest of the book, and together make up [12] p. (I am not sure where 
the AAS "wrapper" is counted in the [12] p.).

I have a similar problem with OCLC #25881566, where there is a 500 note 
that says, ""This is one of the Volland 'Flaxtex Books'."--Back cover." 
while my text says "This is one of the Volland Cloth Books." and the book 
does not have any wrappers as mentioned in another note.

Any suggestions on how I might catalog these so that they will not be 
merged into the existing OCLC records?

Thanks,
Larry
