I don't think we scan covers. At least I have never had any luck with
trying to do so.

Hi Cindy, you need to go by what Bookshare calls the title page,
not by what Wikipedia says. For Bookshare, the title page is the
page that has the title, the author and the publisher.
On that page, and on that page only according to the Bookshare
proofreading guidelines, the title should be 20 points and bold.
Everywhere else the title appears it is in the same text format as
the rest of the book -- 12 points, without bolding.
Hope that helps!

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
