7C10. Physical description


Make notes on important physical details that are not already included in the physical description area. For incunabula routinely and for later publication optionally, give the number of columns if more than one, number of lines, and type measurements if no account is found in a bibliographical source and the printer is unidentified or has been identified from this information. Give fuller details of the illustrations if these are considered necessary. Make a note on color printing if it is an important feature. Always note color printing in incunabula. Example

Details of physical description given here usually apply to all copies of an edition or issue . If copy-specific information is noted, it should be given separately (see 7C18 ).
