I used to do that, but recently when I checked the manual I read that titles
need only to be 16 point Bold (and not caps) and subtitles 14point Bold and not
c aps, and that is what I' e been doing on this book. I think I asked Scott,
but can't remember. Am I wrong? I'm not going to go back correct what I've
done on this book so far, but I can go back to 20point Bold (and caps?) and 16
for subtitles as I continue and on future books if that's what we should still
be doing.

>Hi Mayrie, this raises a question
for me. I've run into a lot of books that have the title only on the
first page, or the title and author. Then, within the next several
pages they may repeat that several times and then finally have a page
of what is the 'real' title page with the title, author and publisher
on it. Which one should I treat as the title page? Sometimes this page
even occurs after the copyright page. I've been treating the one with
title, author and publisher on it as the title page.

>>It sounds to me like the title
page that staff is talking about is the first title page (many books
have two). The first title page contains title, author, and publisher
only. Generally, the second title page only contains the title of the
book, and nothing else.

>>So, I'd say not to move the
title page that you have on page ten. I assume that at this point,
before you've made any changes, that page 7 is blank. On that page,
just type the title of the book, bold it, and enlarge it to 20 point
font. Then type the author and below that the publisher.

>>In most cases, the copyright
page is on the flipside of the actual title page containing title,
author, and publisher.

>>And after those two pages are
often acknowledgements, dedication, maybe a blank page, and possibly a
page containing just the title of the book.
>>
>>You shouldn't ever need to
reorder pages. It sounds like the title page of your book didn't scan
clearly enough to give you recognizable text. This is very very common
as publishers seem to think that fancy fonts are desirable on title
pages and OCR chokes on them.

>>Hi all,
>>
>>I have a simple question. I submitted a book I proofread and it
came back to me needing a title page. The note indicated it should be
on page 7. It does already have a title page on page 10 right before
the page where Chapter One begins.
>>
>>So, the question is: Is there a particular order in which the
Front matter needs to be in?
>>
>>I plan to move the title page, of course, to page 7, but I just
want to make sure I understand for future proofreading.
