But a book often has the title represented twice.  Once on the title page and 
once right before the beginning of the text itself.  What size and 
characteristics for the second occurrance?
Thanks.

  Gary,


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

  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

  > Since the standard font size is 12 point, then, unless the chapter has 
subsections, its title  can be in 14 point. As Madeleine mentioned here not 
long ago, a two point differential is sufficient for the Daisy converter. The 
chapter title need be in 16 point only if there are headings within the 
chapter, and those headings should be in 14 point.
