Title Page

[French: Titre Page]

This section should be called "Title Page" and be made a Heading 1.

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, and information relating to author
  • 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 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. See also Back Cover.
