This is a question in the "idle curiosity" category, directed
to my cataloger colleagues.

As a non-cataloger, and on behalf of the Performing Arts Subject
Specialist who selected for our library:  Fringe and Fortune, The
Role of Critics in High and Popular Art, by W.M. Shrum,
Princeton, 1996, I would be interested in knowing why the LC CIP put
this title in N 72, when it is about the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival, primarily a performing arts/drama/theatre rather than
a visual art event.

Would this be a simple mistake, or am I correct in thinking that
appropriate classification does not get much attention these
days, at LC or elsewhere?
