You did say broad feedback, right? For 1st example I would use 2012, for 2nd example I would use 2008 if a record just for the paperback is made. In choosing the 1st printing dates in both instances, I have assumed the announced printing dates to be equivalent to dates of publication. The copyright dates which are not used to infer the publication dates are no longer core, may still be included in another area, especially since they differ from the dates used. My take.

Paper) The hardcover version was published in 2007 Which date would you use to supply the publication date for the paperback that you have: c) the copyright date d) the first printing (paperback) date Would you add any other date information? --------------------- I’m trying to get a sense of how much variation we can expect to see in copy cataloging records, for this type of situation. If you would rather not share with the list, then would you please reply to me personally at: debo...@marcofquality.com<mailto:debo...@marcofquality.com>?
