>> Hi Katherine,
>> I noticed that we have several books in this series some of which
>> also have the artist as main entry such as Gustav Klimt, Joseph
>> Cornell, and Marc Chagall.  Many titles in this series, however, do
>> have the text writer as the main entry.  Here is what I read in AACR2:
>> "If a work consists of reproductions of the works of an artist and
>> text about the artist and/or the works reproduced, enter the heading
>>  appropriate to the text if the person who wrote it is represented
>> as  author in the chief source of information of the item being
>> catalogued.  Make an added entry under the heading for the artist.
>> Otherwise, enter under the heading for the artist.  In case of
>> doubt, enter under the heading of the artist."
>>
>> I looked at some of our titles in this series.  None of them have

>> Does anyone have another interpretation?

>> Hello
>>    I cataloged "Dreaming pictures: Paul Klee", b23183901, the series
>> Adventures in Art. I noticed that Paul Klee is the author, yet in the
>> CIP the text is by Jurgen von Schemm. In other Adventures in Art the
>> author is "text by" and not the artists. An example is "Edward Hopper:
>> summer at the seashore", b24142396 author is Deborah Lyons.  So, why
>> is this one book in the series not consistent with the 100 author field?
>>
>> Thanks
