Appendix G: Glossary

This glossary is intended to supplement the glossary in AACR2, appendix D. The terms included here are either lacking in AACR2, or, though present there, require some amendment to accommodate these rules for the description of special printed materials. The definitions marked with an asterisk have been taken from G. Thomas Tanselle’s "The bibliographical concepts of issue and state ," in The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, 69 (1975), p. 17-66.
