Thank you Mac and Trina, and thank you Trina for pointing out that I forgot to include Australia in my 264. I knew that it should be included, but somehow, even though I typed it in to my message, it just didn't register when I constructed my 264. It's nice to have a concrete answer so I don't have to waste time on this issue any longer.

[...] If I need to take the place of publication from the t.p. verso, should I then also take the publisher's name from the t.p. verso (follow rule 2.8.2.2)? Hi Dana, I find it helpful when struggling with a difficult 246 to begin by choosing and recording the publisher's name first, setting aside place for the moment. So for your resource, applying 2.8.4.2 and taking the publisher's name from the same source as the title proper, you'd have 264 _1 ... $b Hordern House and you are done with publisher's name. There is no need to revisit it once you've recorded it. After this you can turn your attention to place of publication. Considering your resource again, 2.8.2.2 tells you that the first spot to look for place of publication is the same source as the publisher's name. But there is no place of publication to be found there, so going back to 2.8.2.2 you can look anywhere else within the resource. (And this does mean *anywhere*; there is nothing special or privileged about the t.p. verso.) Once you choose your source, record the place of publication as it appears there. Using t.p. verso as the source, you'd have 264 _1 $a Potts Point, NSW, Australia (including "Australia" per 2.8.2.3) Then finish up with date of publication. You don't say whether there's a date on the title page -- if so, that's where you would take it from. But if it appears only on the t.p. verso, you can take it from there, without brackets, per 2.8.6.2. Put it all together and you get: 264 _1 $a Potts Point, NSW, Australia : $b Hordern House, $c 2004. This can get frustrating, but as with all things, it gets easier the more you do it.
