I have been reading the discussions that there are too many relationship designators, differences between types of editors, etc.
However, reading through this list - is there a relationship designator for the person who wrote the foreword? The book in hand is: Thorton Wilder, a life ... foreword by Edward Albee. If I use Edward Albee as an added entry, what relationship designator should I use? Or none? With RDA is it expected that all name added entries have the relationship to the book spelled out? I am using some of the books I am cataloging today to 'practice' some of the RDA changes.
