2.7B7. Edition and history
Republications:
When cataloging a republication (a reissue of a previously published edition by another publisher without change in text), make a note for the previous edition if the information is readily available. Ordinarily begin the note with the phrase "Originally published" (or "Previously published" if the data for the original are not available), followed by a colon-space. (If the republication is a facsimile reproduction, see 1.11.) Include details of publication, etc., and other information appropriate to the particular case. For series, when the republication contains the original series statement as it appeared on the original publication, give in the note the original statement within parentheses (cf. LCRI 21.30L ). (Generally it is not necessary to give a bibliographic history note when the republication is a work of the imagination or a classic.)
Limited Editions:
Limited edition notes are generally formulated only in rare book cataloging. (Cf. Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Books .) Small print runs for other books are normally ignored even if fewer than 500 copies.
Photoreproduction:
"Photoreproduction" is a generic term that is no longer used, since the inception of AACR2, to indicate a particular kind of reproduction. If a macroreproduction is one that is "on demand," i.e., the result of the reproduction process comprises only a single copy, the applicable term is "photocopy"; use the guidelines in LCRI 1.11A to catalog such an item. If a macroreproduction process comprises copies that represent an edition, use a general statement in a note or indicate the fact of reproduction, as appropriate, but do not use the term "photoreproduction."
