Drace (dracenines) | 7367 comments So I'm working on a thread to correct issues on a book of essays and photographs that was published as a companion to an art museum exhibit in the 1990s in Boston, Massachusetts. The book was published by the art museum, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, but they had help in publishing it from The MIT Press. Both the ICAB and The MIT Press are listed on the title page, and the copyright page says the following:

First MIT Press edition, 1997
© 1997 The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston

So, with all this in mind: should the publisher field for the book's page on Goodreads just list the ICAB, or should it list both ICAB and MIT Press?

Drace (dracenines) | 7367 comments It's been a couple days, so I'm giving this question a bump for visibility.

Renske | 12219 comments In these situations I check first how a library website or worldcat has listed the book details (if it is listed there). However in the end I don't think it matters that much which way you choose.
