[DCRM-L] Unusual signatures

[Weiss, Amy]

The works of Robert Burns with an account of his life.... Philadelphia : J. Crissy, 1839.  Seems to be an abridgement of a much larger (4 volume) work, has been reprinted and reworked many times by numerous publishers.  None of the other records I looked at matched and nobody tried to do anything with signatures.    Amy

Oh wait, you said it was an 8vo. It still would help to know what book it is.

Hello--

Okay, maybe it is a really common pattern but most of what I catalog is too young for signatures at all so I'm hoping one of you can help:  I have a book (8vo) that has signatures reading B, B2, C, C2, followed by Aa, Aa2 etc.  Do I need  to show those second signatures, and if so, how?  Or do I just take them in stride and maybe make a note?

Thanks in advance for your help,
