I don't know if this is oversimplification. The way I see it. If you have Place Name followed by Distributed by, Published by or whatever, it's entirely logical to capitalize the first word. I can say this is great. Come. So what. O, no. Each is a separate statement. Regardless whether Separated by : , by , by . We are not saying Place that is distributed, or sold by.

It's certainly not mentioned among the elements where the first word must always be capitalized. Corresponding examples in the ISBD consolidated (4.2.5) aren't capitalized, e.g.: distributed by Harvard University Press to be sold by Jas. Gardner So, is there something I've overlooked, or is this a mistake in RDA?
