It is my practice to scan the front cover, back cover, front flap, rear flap,
and then the text. That way if I want to make any special notes before I begin
reading a book or if I want to do any research, I might know about other things
that would help me. Sometimes they referred to other things that would be
helpful to me before that book.
I will say, however, when doing very young children's books, I rarely include
them in that order since I feel it would be a distraction to an early reader.
In
those cases I often reverse the process and move that material to the end. I
hope that makes sense.

Hi Evan,
I do exactly as you do. If I were to pick up a book in a bookstore, I'd
want to read what it's about before buying it to read, and that information,
as you said, is on the cover. I prefer the covers at the beginning of the
book. Just my opinion and practise.

Hmmm, Roger, why on Earth would you move the front and back covers to the
back of the book? A sighted person can see them without effort, in the case
of the back cover, (the cover that gives information on what the book is
about in the case of a paperback book), simply by flipping over the book,
and in the case of the front cover, simply by looking at it. Someone using a
Bookshare version of the book would need to navigate through all of the
headers to get to the front and back cover, or go directly to the end of the
book and navigate backward, or, in the case of a brf version, do a search
for [front cover] or [back cover] to find them. I always put that stuff at
the very beginning of the file. It seems much more logical to me, especially
since a sighted reader can read them first, and is very probably not going
to wait till the end of the book to read anything that gives information on
what's in the book.
Evan
