7C18. Copy being described and library’s holdings (Copy-specific notes)
Make notes on any special features or imperfections of the copy being described when they are considered important. Carefully distinguish such notes from other kinds of notes that record information valid for all copies of an edition . (For many older Publications, however, it will not be readily ascertainable whether the characteristics of a single copy are in fact shared by other copies.)
Features that may be brought out here include rubrication, illumination and other hand coloring, manuscript additions, binding and binder, provenance (persons, institutions, bookplates), imperfections and anomalies, and copy number (cf. 7C7 ). For copy-specific "With:" notes, see the next rule. Example
