Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bibliography
Fulness of information. - The fulness of information for title and collation will differ greatly according to the form or purpose of the bibliography. The minimum generally includes author's full name, complete title, edition, place, and date of publication, publisher, main paging, size, and, in case of books in print at the time of compilation, the listed price. In popular reading lists somewhat briefer information is allowable, and in bibliographies of rare books much more detail is called for. All items of information should be verified by reference to the book itself, as a cardinal point of modern bibliography is not to include any book which has not been examined by someone working on the bibliography, whenever such examination is at all possible. When for exceptional reasons some book has been included without such examination, a note or arbitrary sign should indicate that fact, partly to save the compiler from criticism in case of error in title, but principally to warn the user of the bibliography that the title may need verification.
