If you know it's been self-published by the author, wouldn't it be ok to put the author's name in the $b? (In brackets, I suppose, as there's no publication statement on the sources of information.)

Your other option would be to take a best guess at the place of publication and then you wouldn't need the second 264. Two possibilities: 264 _1 [Charleston, South Carolina?] : $b [Publisher not identified], $c [2013] or 264 _1 [United States] : $b [Publisher not identified], $c [2013] or even 264 _1 [United States?] : $b [Publisher not identified], $c [2013] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Adam L.
