I said (with respect to information about an imprint):
I can think of at least three possible ways in which such an
information can appear in the resources:
#1: a statement like "X, an imprint of Y"
#2: "X" on the title page, with an additional information, e.g. on the
verso of the title page: "X is an imprint of Y"
#3: "X" on the title page, but "Y" on the verso of the title page,
e.g. in a copyright statement (here I can deduce und usually easily
verify that "X" is an imprint of "Y", but it doesn't say so explicitly
on the resource)
In cases #2 and #3, I don't really see how I could reasonably give the
imprint information in the publication statement. In both cases, I
would simply take "X" from the preferred source of information and
leave it at that. Therefore I'm reluctant to treat #1 differently.
Come to think of it, if somebody feels that it important to include the
information about the imprint, maybe the best way to do it would be a
note on publication statement (2.20.7).
However, I think the general public is not really much interested in
being told to which publisher a certain brand name belongs, e.g. that
Academic Press nowadays "really" is Elsevier.
