I'm working on an updated bibliography of motorcycle books and the formatting requires me to list the locations of the publishers. As examples, large, well-known places like, say, Los Angeles or London are to be listed just by those names alone. Smaller places that might not be as universally known, or where it could be ambiguous, like, say Austin, Texas or Birmingham, Alabama (vs. Birmingham, UK) are to be listed with the additional State/Province/Country. Which brings me to my question.
Taking Crowood Press as an example, in their books they list their address as Ramsbury, Marlborough, Wiltshire SN8 2HR. Googling them shows a more detailed address of The Stable Block, Crowood Ln., Ramsbury, Marlborough, SN8 2HR, United Kingdom. The map shows this is actually a few thousand feet outside Ramsbury proper, which in turn is three miles from Marlborough. Ignoring the fact that other, older publishers list either Great Britain or England as the country, how would I list the location of Crowood Press using only two words; Ramsbury, UK or Marlborough, UK?
OK, now not ignoring the UK question, is it now no longer accepted practice to list a city that is south of Hadrian's wall and east of Bristol as in England or Great Britain, but rather to list it as in the UK? This isn't a question about how it "should be," or how it was when our hair wasn't grey, but how it is now.
Thanks in advance for answering these geopolitical questions.
