Title Page

This section should be a Heading 1 called "Title Page" [French: Titre Page]

A common mistake is to confuse the cover page (often on the book jacket) with the title page. The title page is found inside the book cover, and it consists of:

  • Title and Subtitle
  • Author
  • Maintain any information relating to "Author writing as …" or coauthor information ie. "Author writing with …"
  • Publisher

Remove extra title pages.

Q & A

Q: When a book has a cover page, should we give it a "heading 1" that says Cover Page? When a book includes a summary of the work, what heading would this be given? To offer some context, the book I am working with (A Boy Named Queen) includes the summary that would be on the dust cover; in this particular case, the text appears on what would be the front inside flap of the dust cover. (So sorry for my non-technical language!)

A: Usually we can just delete the Cover Page image (as there's usually no content other than title and author, which is often already on the Title Page). In the case of A Boy Named Queen, the Cover Page is on a book jacket that has a summary of the book. We can keep the summary and put it at the end of the book (before Terms of Use) with a heading 1 called Book Summary. We don't need to keep the Cover Page (as the book title and author are already in the Title Page section).
