The patch looks nice but maybe should be expanded for the jurabib common bst
style.

I have sadly no time to learn BibTeX programming now, even if it does not
look very complicate. 

I think the question is whether the jurabib package should evolve by piling
up options. Somebody may want tomorrow the publisher name in the fullcite
but not in the bibliography ! Or, evolve towards the creation of a tool to
generate custom .bst file. 

Another solution for Peter would be to explain to his Phd supervisor that
publisher names are rather useless in bibliographies. They were usefull
when we were buying our academic books through publisher mail order
catalogues. But today, who is doing that any longer ? Bibliographies are
not pure mind games, they are a tool for a reader to find quickly the book
in the library or buy it. Computerized catalogues have changed the way
historians work, even across the Channel... 

Cheers,
Charles

If you have a problem, please provide a complete minimal example document (with a small bibliography database), which runs out of he box without any superfluous packages loaded, otherwise we could not help.
