As far as I can tell, and from my familiarity with Triple Canopy, the original post is not about artist's books. I think cataloging these works as reproductions is flawed and misleading, since the original format is not a book.  I would call this type of work "web-to-book".

My two cents.

If such books are cataloged as artists books, would this issue be noted in 1.2 Edition area?

Or, via the ARLIS UK & Ireland Artists' books: a cataloguers' manual --
"Treat facsimiles, photocopies and other reproductions as artists' books. Give details of the original in a note." (500 area)

Sorry, David, I seem to have touched a nerve.  It was never my intention to
call into question your first-hand knowledge of Dexter Sinister and their
process.  Can you kindly provide the forum with further clarification or
details, so that we can have a better idea of what sort of materials we're
being asked to evaluate?  This question is also relevant to me in my work,
and I'm curious to hear what others have to suggest.  I see that another forum
member suggested the same term = Print on demand books.  Just to be clear, are
you saying that "Print-on-demand" would not be a useful addition to the
vocabulary for these, or at least similar, materials (it's not exactly clear to
me what you're trying to define with this loose collection of items in the first
place, or why we would assume that they can all be described by a single term)?
Or are you saying that terms like Reprints don't apply?  Finally, in some cases,
might we not be dealing with just plain old "Books" or "Artist's books" -- where
the content is perhaps reprinted, from say a blog, but the format is in fact a
traditional monograph that may have gone through a conventional press (perhaps
some inforation about the original carrier could be included in notes or
keywords)?  Please clarify your interpretation.

Best,


Adam
