Gary:  Thanks for asking this.  I have not been doing anything with the
second one except keeping it in 12-point, but knowing how things change,
perhaps I am incorrect?

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.

No, Marty, just the title of the book on the title page is at 20 point
bolded

Hi Tim,

   The Author's name is supposed to be in 20 point bold.

Gary,

 

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

 

Tim

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.
