I, then, have been doing this wrong for lo these many years. I didn't
realize that the title page had not only the title but the other info, like
the publisher, etc., so I googled and to see what exactly is teh title
page of a book )or thesis,etc. Wikipedia says : "The *title page* of a book
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book>, thesis
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis> or other written work is the page at
or near the front which displays its title
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_%28publishing%29>. This page contains
*only* (emphasis here is mine)the title in a fashion similar to the rest
of the text within the book.
I thought that was the title page but did not think it should have the
title in " in a fashion similar to the rest of the book. Does that
necessarily mean in 12 point? Or can it mean in the same font, e.g. Times
Roman, not the same size. I've been proofing for years. I've been putting
the title in 20 point Bold both when it's on the cover and the title
page; When the title reappears on the same page as the publisher info
I put it in12 point not bold along with the rest of the page.. Should
I now change my ways? I' may be an old dog but I'm not tooold to learn new
tricks smile

Hi Aidee,
Yes, you should put the title standing by itself on the first page in
12-point. As you clearly understand, the title page, where it should appear
in 20-point bold, is the page with the title, author, and publisher on it.
The only place the title should appear in this larger bold font is on the
title page.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] another question about tbook I'm proofing
Hello All:
This is Aidee, one of the proofreaders. I have another (hopefully) tiny
question. In the book I'm working on, the very first page of the book is
just the title of the book, in 20 point and bolded. But a few pages further
on, the title of the book appears again. It looks like this.
LEIGH BARDUGO
SIX OF CROWS
HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY
NEW YORK
In the file I have, it appears as though the title is in 20 point and
bolded.
My question is this: Should I make the title of the book on the very first
page 12 point, and leave the title of the book that appears further on at
20 points and bolded, or vice versa. This is the first time I've seen
something like this in a book I've proofed (although I've only done a few).
I looked through the list for a similar question, and I saw that a similar
case was directed to have the title on the first page be 12 points, because
it appeared by itself without the author's name.
I'd really appreciate any help, and I apologize for any and all
inconvenience.

Regards,
Aidee
