I am basically looking for a field that distinguishes PUBLISHER BOUND or
LIBRARY HOUSE BOUND.  Is there a specific subfield within $563?

}Is there a MARC field for binding info?  If not, where will be the
}logical place to display such data?  Should each library use the
local
}fields for such data?

At the request of the British the UKMARC field 563 for binding
information
has been added to MARC21.  My understanding is that it is intended for
rare
book cataloguing.
