I assume that before the City you have a period, So, make the period BEFORE
the City dependant of the City.  So, you can make the format like this:

Something|. City||: Publisher|.

If there is no CIty, you will have something like that:
Something.

If ther is a city you will have:
Something. City.

And if there is a publisher, you will have:

Something. City: Publisher.
