[DCRM-L] Concern for collocation of Moby Dick artist book

[Graham Skinner]

Howdy all y'all,

We are puzzling over how an artist book we've received fits into the WEMI
model vis a vis collocation.

The artist book is comprised of individual chapters of Melville's Moby Dick
remaining faithful to the text, but each chapter is designed by a different
artist. Each chapter is issued separately and presents itself as part of a
monographic series. And therefore, we are cataloguing each chapter
separately with the chapter title in the 245 and a series tracing. To
provide collocation, we are adding a 240 for Moby Dick, but we are unsure
whether this is correct in respect to WEMI principles.

Thoughts?

If you care to dig deeper into the work, here is a link to the series
online prospectus: Moby Dick Filet <http://www.mobydickfilet.com/#about>.

Cheers,
Graham Skinner
