Oh Mike,
You have a new scanner on its way? How exciting! What did you get?
Curious minds want to know!
Or was that "Inquiring Minds Want To Know". To quote a really cheesy
magazine. Can we call The Inquirer a magazine?

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Question: Title page position
The actual problem in regard to this question has been cleared up.
Nonetheless I feel compelled to put in my few cents worth.
The "Real Title Page" almost always is right before the copyright page (but
not absolutely always). Many times the title and author's name on this page
are in very large and elaborate lettering so OCR makes a hash of it. I've
even seen books with the title page spread over two facing pages. I've seen
as many as three pages with the title on them, the first page of the book,
usually just the title, but sometimes the title and author, then blank pages
or review blurbs or lists of other books by the author, then finally the
"Real Title Page" with the title, author and publisher (though not
necessarily in that order), then the copyright page, followed by blank pages
or dedications or acknowledgements and so on, then another page with just
the book title (or infrequently title and author), and finally the actual
text of the book.
In the past, I have bolded and 20 pointed all title pages, but lately I've
been doing 20 point bold only for the "Real Title Page."
I'm sure that is more than anyone wanted to actually read, but I'm sitting
here hoping my new scanner will arrive while I eat lunch and probably like
nervous gabbling only in the form of typing email.
