Why do you think page xx means "editors" and not "authors"? I see nothing there to suggest this.

Apparently the term "author" is used differently in the book. It actually means "editor" rather than "author" as we understand in RDA. I would suggest you to stick to the title page. You also can make a judgement based on the nature of the handbook. About the Authors Frank Booty is former editor of Facilities Management and a contributor to, and editor of, other market-leading titles, books and web sites in the fields of business, IT and networking. Hopefully it helps.

I have the edition from Routledge. (OCoLC) 244653136 is an AACR2 record for the Butterworth-Heinemann edition. (You can also search by ISBN: 9780750689779.) The cover says "edited by Frank Booty"; the title page leaves out "edited by," at least in my copy (the record for the Butterworth-Heinemann edition suggests that "edited by" was on the title page, although other records suggest that "edited by" did not appear on the title page). Page xx, "About the authors," lists 8 authors of the handbook, the first, of course, being Frank Booty, who seems, then, to be the primary author and the editor responsible for the final form of the volume. So, should his name be the preferred entry? Should I simply ignore "edited by" on the cover? And if I did want to give it, I assume I would not use square brackets, since it comes from the resource, although not from the source I am using for the information. Thanks in advance for any help.
