On an ancillary note, if I am doing books for very young kids, especially the
under 40 page variety, I put the flap and rear cover information at the back
so as not o impede or intimidate early readers. Many of these books have the
copyright page in the rear for this very reason (not of my doing, but
author/publisher choice), so it makes sense to put the adult read
pages/information at the back.

Hi Kristen,
If the information from the front cover is included in the scanned book, it
should be on a page by itself, preceding the rest of the contents of the
book. Put only the words Front Cover or something similar in square brackets
at the top of the page, on a line by itself, like this: [front cover]
Make sure that there is a page number on that page, which will almost always
be added as a roman numeral. If the book already has pages with roman
numerals that start with i or I, then do the following: if the book's roman
numeral pages are lower case make this page an upper case I. If the book's
roman numeral pages are upper case, make this page a lower case i.
If the scanner has included the material from the front and back book jacket
flaps, those should be on the pages directly after this page. Similar to the
page with the cover, these pages should have the words from the front book
flap or from the back book flap or something similar at the top of the page,
on their own line, in square brackets like this: [from the front book flap]
or [from the back book flap] and the pages should have roman numerals added
If the person didn't scan the cover but scanned the jacket flaps (which is
what I usually encounter) then the front book flap information becomes the
first page of the scanned book and so forth.
Does that help, or have I made it muddier? smile.
