Henry Andrews removed the following text (May 10, 2009) as it contradicts several of the examples as well as current practice as frequently comes up on the editors' list, and replaced it with the third bullet above:

• [REMOVED] If the imprint does not apply to all the issues in a series, do not select an imprint. Instead, put a note in the Publisher Notes field.
