Gary,

I believe the author's name is also supposed to be in 18 point, right?

Tim

From Carrie:

Adding navigation to a book allows readers to jump to the chapters, find 
sections
and parts easily, that sort of thing. The way we indicate parts, sections, and 
chapters
is by the font size. The larger the font, the more important the line of text. 
There's
a small section in the volunteer manual that gives some parameters:
                  4)  Use these font sizes:         For the:
                         20 point  +  BOLDING        Book title
                         18 point  +  BOLDING        Larger section headings  
(such
as "Part I", or "Section 2")
                         16 point  +  BOLDING        Headings for each section 
in
the Front Matter, & Back Matter
                         16 point  +  BOLDING        Chapter headings
                         14 point  +  BOLDING        Chapter subheadings
                         12 point                             Text in the body 
of
the book
