Large print/large type books are defined by the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped of the Library of Congress and OCLC Bibliographic Standards and Formats
- Printed in a 14 point or larger font
- Item labeled "large print" or "larger print" (HarperLuxe's "larger print" books typically use 14-point type.)
- Harlequin's "larger print" books typically use 11- or 12-point type, which is basically the same as any normal hardcover or trade paperback book, and thus should not be treated as large type
Fixed field
Form: d
Variable fields
- Edition (250)
- Record a formal edition statement that appears on the item. If a formal edition statement is lacking, but "Large print" or "Larger print" appears on the item, record that as an edition statement. If all these are lacking, optionally supply a bracketed edition statement in the form
[Large print edition].[1].
250 1st Thorndike Press large print edition. 250 Larger print. 250 [Large print edition].
- If there are multiple edition statements, in the CCS database record both statements in the same 250 field. (In OCLC, record separate edition statements in separate 250 fields.)
250 Revised edition, Large print.
- When both "1st HarperLuxe edition" and "Larger print" appear on an item, they are different ways of saying the same thing (HarperLuxe is Harper's "larger print" imprint, so everything HarperLuxe publishes is "larger print"). In the CCS database, record both in the same 250 field.
- Example:
250 1st HarperLuxe edition, Larger print.
- Extent of item (300 ‡a)
- Optionally, qualify the pagination with
(large print).
300 243 pages (large print) ;‡c25 cm
- Font size (340 ‡n)
- Specify "large print" in a 340 field. (Note that the first letter is lowercase, and there is no final period.[2][3])
340 ‡nlarge print‡2rda
- Genre (655)
- Always use the local genre heading
Large type books.
655 0 Large type books.
