The Parts of a Book<\/h2>\n
Books are traditionally organized into three sections: the front matter, the text\u00a0and the back matter. Each of these is made up of standard types of content.\u00a0Pressbooks follows the Chicago Manual of Style conventions, which lists the order of a book as follows:<\/p>\n
<\/h4>\n\nFront Matter<\/h4>\n
Book half title
\nSeries title, frontispiece or blank
\nTitle page
\nCopyright Page
\nDedication
\nEpigraph
\n(Table of) Contents
\n(List of) Illustrations
\n(List of) Tables
\nForeword
\nPreface
\nAcknowledgments (if not part of preface)
\nIntroduction (if not part of text)
\nAbbreviations (if not in back matter)
\nChronology (if not in back matter)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nText<\/h4>\n
First text page (Introduction or Chapter 1)
\nor<\/em>
\nSecond half title or first part title
\nFirst text page
\nSubsequent part titles and chapters<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nBack Matter<\/h4>\n
Acknowledgements (if not in front matter)
\nAppendix (or first, if more than one)
\nSecond and subsequent appendixes

Why does this matter?<\/h3>\n
Now obviously, not every book will have all of those parts! In fact, many will only have a few\u00a0basic ones, like a title page and a copyright page. However, if you do choose to add extras, it is important to know the\u00a0order in which they will appear.<\/p>\n
Front Matter<\/h4>\n

If you then choose to add, for example, an epigraph and a dedication, your front matter might look like this:<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nFront Matter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If these two section have been properly tagged as an epigraph and dedication (for more on this see our chapter on Front Matter<\/a>) and you export them, you will see that their order has been reversed.
