[DCRM-L] Incomplete single-sheet publication

[Will Evans]

Thanks Deborah. Yes, it is an original record. I’ll enter it as a “K” level
record, and follow your advice, regard description and note.



Best,



Will.

Good question, Will. This is an original record?



I'd be inclined to enter what your copy has, with the note that the
description is based on an incomplete/heavily cropt copy as the first note,
in favor of trying to emulate what we do for the extent. While "[25+] p."
plus note is easily understood, I think that "25[+] cm" plus note would
still be a bit confusing.

Item in hand is a broadside that has clearly been cropped, resulting in a
loss of text. Obviously, this calls for a note. But does one enter the
dimensions of an imperfect copy of a broadside in the 300 without some
indication of its incompleteness, and hope that the note will suffice? Or
enter something similar to a statement of extent for imperfect book, like:
23 x 25[+] cm.?  Neither?



Thanks in advance,



Will
