Re: GEN: bib records

Personally, I believe it is important to catalog distinct publications
separately.  There are differences, and some of them can matter a lot --
especially paper vs hard back, and choice of illustrator.

Unison will show all of the same title listings in one whack initially.
It's on the second screen that they are broken down by cataloging
distinctions.
