Manon has done a superb job in her position paper on Machine Press=20
Cataloging.  I do have a few comments/questions.  There is one problem--I=20
cannot copy and paste text from the Adobe Acrobat document.

1.  On p. 2, half way through:

whether or not the current instruction to treat printers and publishers as=
=20
interchangeable in the imprint area is to be observed for bothearly and=20
modern materials ...

The following is from ISBD(A).  Do we want to consider this?  In many ways=
=20
it does make sense.  I think this would have to be done for all=20
publications and not just after a certain date.

4.5 Place of printing
&
4.6 Name of printer
4.5.1 The place of printing and the name of the printer are given following=
=20
the date, & 4.6.1 when they appear in the publication, but not in the first=
=20
preferred prescribed source of information for the place of publication,=20
etc., or name of publisher, etc., elements, or when they do not appear in=20
the publication and are known and considered important by the bibliographic=
=20
agency.
4.5.2 The place(s) of printing and the name(s) of printer(s) are given in=20
the same way & 4.6.2 as the principal place(s) of publication, etc., and=20
name of publisher, etc.
e.g.
A Paris : chez Nyon l'a=EEn=E9, 1781 ([Paris] : de l'imprimerie de la veuve=
=20
Thiboust)
Note: Printer named in colophon
Francofurti : prostat apud Ionam Rosarn, 1616 ([Frankfurt : Abraham=
 Scultetus])
Editorial comment: Printer not named in the publication
[Parrhisiis] : venales inveniuntur in vico sancti Iacobi apud Leonem=20
Argenteum [Johannem Petit], 1508 (Parrhisiis : impressae in Bellovisu=20
[apud] Johannem Marchant)
Note: Petit's name, the place, date and the statement of printing are taken=
=20
from the colophon
Venundatur Parrhisiis : in vico sancti Iacobi sub Leone Argenteo, Jehan=20
Petit, [ca. 1509] ([Paris : Jean Marchant])
Note: The last leaf bears the device of the printer.
Petit's name appears in a device on the title-page

--------------------

2. Multiple edition statements

If we give all printing statements in the 250, what do we do about the=20
"historical" type of printing statements that often appear?

Example 1 (Made up)
First published in London by Faber and Faber in 1932
First American edition
First printing 1933; second printing July 1934; third printing December 1934

Would we give both the "First American edition" and the "third printing=20
December 1934" in the 250 and then give other information in a note?  Would=
=20
it be better to give the edition statement in the 250 and the printing=20
information in a note?

------------------------

3.  In general, where Manon has used the phrase "if desired", would it be=20
better to give a rule, to either do or don't do,  but give the other as an=
=20
option.

Example:
"Do not transcribe pre 1870 copyright dates.  Optionally, add this=20
information in a note."
