Hi all,
Scanners are not required to scan the front or back covers or flaps, but if
they've been scanned, please include them at the very front of the book. They
should be noted as [front flap] or [back cover] but the font sizes of those
words shouldn't be changed as though they were chapters.
Best,
Madeleine

I also put the inside flaps and back cover info at the very beginning of the
file for the same reason.

Hi Beverly,
It would be nice if Bookshare had a standard for this material, since it
looks like some of us are doing it different from others.
We had this discussion several years ago on-list. Many of us took the
position that, since sighted folks can pick up a book, glance at the back
cover or jacket flaps before reading, or choosing not to read, a particular
book, we would put this material at the beginning of the file.
This is how I have scanned and prepared every one of the books I have
submitted. None of my books has been rejected for this reason.
Hopefully, Madeleine or someone will chime in if they wish us to do it in a
certain way.
Deborah

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] cover and jacket-flap text
Who can tell me if there is a standard placement, format, and page-numbering
system for front and back cover text, and for text on jacket-flaps? I’m
finding a lot of variation in the different scans I’m proofing.
For example, in the current scan, back-cover text has been placed at the
beginning, on a page right after front-cover text. The front-cover text, of
course, duplicates the title page. Assume there should be only one 20 point
bold title, and if that appears on the cover page, should the title page be
set to all 12 point? Or should the front cover not be included? What about
the back cover, which has excerpts from reviews (marketing)?
