In a collaboration such as this, it is important to know the actual layout of the title page. Could you scan and attach, or replicate it as closely as possible?
Without seeing the layout and actual wording, I would say: - both Tony and Jill should be added as Creators (19.2.1.1) since it appears that he is listed on the title page in a way that indicates that he collaborated in the creation of the work - we need to know the layout to determine principal responsibility (6.27.1.3); if there is no indication of principal responsibility, and Tony is listed first, then I would make him the Creator in the Authorized Access Point (AAP) for the work-he "gets the Guernsey" This continues our previous AACR practice of not making a judgment call on responsibility, but going by what is 'indicated' on the source of information. There was an excellent LCRI that helped with this, but I don't think it made it over as an LC-PCC PS, as far as I can see. The issue of whether the illustrator is also a collaborator (as 'artist') or 'just the illustrator', is another topic altogether; and still unresolved, at least in my mind.

Greetings from sunny Townsville I have a picture book called 'Bombo the wonder dog' . The book has, as far as I can see: ' Idea' [inspired by the antics observed in his own pet dog] by Tony V.; 'Verses' [the actual story text] by Jill M. ; 'Illustrated' by Sally F. Am I correct in assuming that Jill gets the Guernsey as being responsible for the work rather than Tony (who has a terminal illness & was unable to put pen to paper, and did not dictate it)?
