I agree with Sherman about the 300.  "photograph" can be used as a RDA term for illustrative content, but only if it refers to "an image created by light falling on a light-sensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic medium" (RDA VES), which is apparently not the case for this resource.

Alex--

From your options and the website, it looks like the 300 should be:

204 unnumbered pages : $b illustrations ; $c 31 cm + $e 1 booklet (40 unnumbered pages)

* Don't need to say "1 volume"; a single volume would be assumed if you give a count of pages.

* "Photographs" is reserved in 300 for original photographs. It looks like this resource is pictures (illustrations) and not original photos. (I'm not sure that RDA explicitly prohibits the use of "photographs" as illustrative content but it was clear in AACR.)

* We'd mention color but not b&w. You could add a note if it seemed appropriate (as always).

Let me know if any of this doesn't make sense.

Hello all,

I am cataloging a photobook by Daido Moriyama (https://www.shashasha.co/en/book/light-shadow-english). I'm doing my best to follow RDA, and am hoping the collective wisdom might have some insight about the 300 field.

Here are some options I came up with for the 300. Which seems best/what am I missing?

• 2 volumes (244 unnumbered pages) : ǂb photographs ; ǂc 31 cm + ǂe 1 booklet
• unclear to me if need to indicate that there’s a booklet if I say it’s 2 vol
  
• 1 volume (204 unnumbered pages) : ǂb black and white photographs ; ǂc 31 cm + ǂe 1 booklet (40 unnumbered pages)
  
• not sure if I should say photographs or images?
  

Many thanks!
Alex
