Title-page terminology for collected works:

• General title page -- a title page, often appearing in only the first volume of a multi-volume work, encompassing the entire work
• Volume title page -- a title page with information pertaining to a single volume of a multi-volume work
• Play title page or Divisional title -- a title page, with or without an imprint, for an individual work. If the collected works are poems only, then use Poem title page

• The 530 field is necessary when a digital copy is linked to the record:530  Also available as an electronic resource.  

• The 852 field, notes and descriptions: 
• Imperfect
• <from DJL email/review of record> Just calling it a "frontispiece" is sufficient. Plus, some catalogers of the old school may misinterpret this as meaning that the frontispiece is integral rather than a plate. Let's set this as a rule of thumb for copy notes: If the frontispiece is a plate, just call it a frontispiece. If it's integral, call it a frontispiece and give the signature, e.g., 
• 852 ǂz Imperfect: lacking frontispiece (leaf A1)                   or  
• 852 ǂz Imperfect: lacking leaf A1 (frontispiece)   

• 852 ǂz Imperfect: lacking half-title
