[DCRM-L] FW: Cataloguing question

[Noble, Richard]

There's no formula for this that I know of. When it's weird, use words (and
pictures, if you can).

Start with the dimensions of the leaf before folding and pasting; it's
folded into x sections, which can be referred to as  sections 1-x; then
describe which ones are pasted together, and what's on them all. In a
catalogue record of the basic physical structure (MARC 300) I'd call it "1
folded sheet", and present the detailed description as a note to the
collation.

The binder must have been so grateful for the challenge.
