Bibliography Question

(A. Roy) wrote in message ...

I have a question that I hope someone in rcb can answer.
For a couple of years, I've owned a book called 'The Bank of
Nova Scotia 1832-1932.' It was published by the bank as a
commemorative item. I've always assumed that the name on
the cover was the author's. Now I see an identical copy
with a different name on the cover on eBay. I realize now
that these are actually the names of the _recipients_ of the
books.

Now the question: how should I list this book in my
database? Should the author be "anonymous" or "Bank of Nova
Scotia"? Is there a general bibliographical rule for this
situation?



The Library of Congress has catalogued with "Bank of Nova Scotia" as
the sole, corporate author.
