[DCRM-L] [EXTERNAL EMAIL] Re: Cataloging Question - how to catalog differences in publisher's bindings

Fri Apr 29 21:26:59 MDT 2022

Hi,

No doubt you’ve seen this, but for those who have not, I return again and
again to this useful document:

Guidelines for the Cataloguing of Rare Books.

https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.cilip.org.uk/resource/group/6b7ad90b-bf8b-4d07-8406-0d28376b41f1/guidlines_for_the_cataloguin.pdf

It gives some detail about use of 563 - but for clarifications,
modification and extensions of theory and practice, I go to senior
practitioners for precept and advice.

Greetings from a lovely autumnal Adelaide,

Nick
