[Eril-l] What is a book? (EBSCO EDS new custom limiters)

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

EBSCO has now made available to EDS customers the ability to define a custom limiter.
We are most interested in creating one that is "books only" (encompassing print as well as e).

Because EDS is an amalgamation of databases from many third parties as well as EBSCO's own databases, there is a wide range of terminology in the "publication type" field that can be used to create this limiter.
If you were in the position of creating such a limiter, which of these publication type terms would you include in a "books only" limiter for your patrons to use?
Of course "book" and "ebook" are in the list, but which if any of these others?
Remember the context is a discovery service checkbox limiter that your patrons might select along with providing their specific topic keywords.
Which would your patrons expect to find included in their search?
