I recall that when Carrie was with us she instructed us that all
submissions must have a title page and a copyright page. There were
some books - more like booklets - that did not have a title page or else
substituted the cover for the title page. In that case we were to
create our own title page and type the title and the author on that page
if there was an author. That would not have additional information like
the publisher, but it was acceptable.

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
