Ashwini asked this question over email:
The title of the book is "Howkins & Bourne Shaw's textbook of gynaecology". Full title we have to enter in the title statement or only textbook of gynaecology.
After a bit of searching in AARCR2R, I answered like this:
Good question.
I will quote AACR2R rule 1.1B2. "If the title proper includes a statement of responsibility or the name of a publisher, distributor, etc., and the statement or name is an integral part of the title proper (i.e., connected by a case ending or other grammatical construction), transcribe it as part of the title proper"
Going by the above rule the title of the book should be recorded/written as "Howkins & Bourne Shaw's textbook of gynaecology".
Think of an analogy: "Dewey Decimal Classification" where Dewey is the name of the author. We record the title as "Dewey Decimal Classification".
