Carolyn:
I don't have any problem with the suggested revision, we are working on
books only. Not that we don't want to create BIBCO records for other
formats, it's more with the process that leads us to reach that point.
I do have one suggestion. Can we have Core listed above Full? Since Core
is really the 'core' of BIBCO.
