Re: City of Publication in Book Citations

[Alice Yucht <AliceInfo@aol.com>]

According to my notes (yellowed and ancient, yet still trustworthy) from
 Dr. Elizabeth Quier's Bibliographic Standards workshop at Pratt Institute's
Library School, "a bibliographic citation gives you objective information
about a published work and the author and publisher who produced that work."

Given that definition -- and what Dr. Quier taught us -- which city is closest
to the READER is irrelevant.  If there are multiple cities listed, you use
the
first one listed, because that is usually where the publisher's main offices
are located. . . . and a citation is about the work published, not the reader
of
the work being cited.
