Hi, Beverly! I always wait until I've scanned the entire book before scanning
thos pages. Since there are no page numbers, if I'm proofreading a book that
hasn't been scanned in this way, I move it all to the back. Sometimes the book
synopsis is partially on the front flap and partially on the back. In this
case, I combine it into one page for a smoother reading experience. Anxious to
see what others have to say on this one... Hope this helps!
Jana

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] cover and jacket-flap text
Who can tell me if there is a standard placement, format, and page-numbering
system for front and back cover text, and for text on jacket-flaps? I’m finding
a lot of variation in the different scans I’m proofing.
For example, in the current scan, back-cover text has been placed at the
beginning, on a page right after front-cover text. The front-cover text, of
course, duplicates the title page. Assume there should be only one 20 point
bold title, and if that appears on the cover page, should the title page be set
to all 12 point? Or should the front cover not be included? What about the
back cover, which has excerpts from reviews (marketing)?
