My understanding is that if the best information you have for a publication date is the copyright date, then the appropriate 264s would be: 264 #1 $c [2014] 264 #4 $c (c)2014
But if you are supplying the publication date and believe 2013 would be more accurate, then 264 #1 $c [2013] 264 #4 $c (c)2014 would be perfectly correct, too.

Should the 264 be: 264 1 ...$c [2013] 264 4 4a @2014 Or 264 1 $c [2014] No 264 4 I am leaning toward the second, since many libraries may receive this book in 2014, and the first option might be confusing, since they would not know for a fact that some were distributed in 2013.
