Robert (robertsbrown) | 210 comments A number of different monographs presenting this artwork by Charlotte Salomon are grouped together of as editions of a book, which makes sense. I was wondering how best to add a digital presentation of this work, which is available here: https://charlotte.jck.nl (page overview: https://charlotte.jck.nl/section).

I think this might be added as an 'ebook', with 970 pages (that's the number of separate digital pages of artwork), with this being the front cover: http://data.jck.nl/thumbnail/jck/jood.... The publisher could be given as either the Jewish Cultural Quarter, or the Jewish Historical Museum. It was published online in 2017. This is its colophon: https://charlotte.jck.nl/colofon.

I didn't add it myself in case I'm wrong to do so. This seems as much an edition of the work as the printed monographs, and website-based books aren't explicitly described as 'NOT A BOOK' on the list in the Librarian Manual (although the closest comparable example, "short stories published online", is on the list of what "Goodreads considers... to be valid book records").

A website is not an ebook, sorry.
