Hi everyone! I had a very similar case yesterday: a book containing solely illustrations. Some of the illustrations had colour, but most of them were b&w. Since we cannot refer to the illustration in 300$b (RDA defines it as « secondary content »), I wasn't sure how to record the information... 7.17.2.3 does not give explicit instruction for such a case ... Finally, I gave : "1 volume (non paginé) :$b en partie en couleur ;$c28 cm" (i.e. 1 volume (unpaged) : some colour ; 28 cm).
I am not sure it is permitted, but it seemed like the best option... Greetings!

I've never seen a coffee table book with actual photographs on sensitive paper. Also, the pages may be numbered, with a varying numbers of pictures per page, but the pictures not numbered. If one is uncomfortable with "illustrations" in 300 $b, when the pictures are the main content as opposed to illustrating text, and we aren't allowed "all pictures" or "chiefly illustrations" in 300 $b, then how about: 300 $a300 pages (pictures) :$bcolour ;$c31 cm. I agree with Hedrun that 1 atlas (300 pages) is strange, so I would not suggest 1 picture book (300 pages). For the atlas I would prefer 300 pages (maps). That's the pattern suggested for large print. Lacuna in RDA should not be an excuse for silly collations. __ __ J.
