[Heb-NACO] Place of publication, publisher, not identified

[Yossi Galron]

I "hate" the term Place of Publication not identified = I think that most
Hebrew books are printed in Israel, and if we can not find the
city/town/place in Israel - we should put there ישראל or Israel

The other question is what happens to  some American Rabbinical
publications (i.e. the author is an American that resides in the USA), but
he publishes his book (or the book is printed) in Israel. Is it an Israeli
publication or is it an American.

And this reminds me of Israeli children's books that are published is in
Israel, but manufactured in China (I saw it especially with Cardboard books
for tots)

So back to the original question - I would use "Place of publication not
identified" only in extreme rare cases (even books from the late 19th cent.
or early 20th century that were published in the Russian Empire of that
time - I would label as [Russia or Poland] in the 264 field.

Just my thoughts,
