----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Since nobody else has taken a stab at this I thought I would just "jump right in" as it were! Chuck, the rules for main entry in AACR2R typically does not allow publishers to be the main entry, except in the case of maps, where map publishers are often also the creator of the maps. The rule interpretations for Rule 21.1B2 do a nice job of spelling out cartographic responsibility and the meaning of "emanating from a corporate body". In particular under "Applicability" number (1) asks "does the work emanate from the corporate body involved?" and in (a) under number 1 the first sentence says "The corporate body has issued (published) the work." Several other "for instances" are posted. You say that Kuperard is listed prominently on the covers, to me this has implications for main entry. Without actually seeing any of these works I believe the scenario I posted above would make Kuperard the main entry for these maps, and the companies holding copyright would be listed in the publication field with your choice of whether or not to trace them also through a corporate added entry (710). If you feel that your patrons *might* look for these items under the copyright holders name then do so, but generally publishers listed in the 260 are not traced for an added entry. My best guess is that Kuperard is responsible for the intellectual content (and footed the bill as well) and the copyright holders were the companies that did the actual map printing/production work. This reminds me of the AAA road maps that are sometimes published by General Drafting or Rand McNally, I think its a parallel situation in that the American Automobile Association is main entry...
