The preface might also describe the terminology or special conventions used in the book, such as symbols used for warnings, tips, and trivia. This is an example of what the Preface is in this book: “This book is a book about books. To put it in simpler terms this book is a reference book that describes how books are made. It shows the order that the pages go in and even what some pages are for. Follow along in this guide to learn about the contruction and layout of the great work of art called the book.�

ACKNOWLEDGMENT The acknowledgment is where the author tells the reader about the organizations and individuals who they feel helped with the book. The difference between the acknowledgment and the dedication is the dedication is a person in the author’s life. Then the acknowledgment is someone in their field.

CHAPTER 1: CONSTRUCTION
BOARD The cover material, such as millboard, that provides stiffness or rigidity for hardcover books. The boards are usually covered with cloth or leather.
COVER This is the outside of a book. It wraps around (with the spine) the text block and protects the pages. Hardcover books are bound in cloth or leather over boards. Softcover or paperback books have covers without the boards. They are usually made of heavy paper or other flexible material.

SPINE
HINGE
The spine is the outer edge of a book that is shown when a book is placed on a bookshelf. It’s the part of the binding that conceals the bound edges of the text block and connects the front and back covers. It usually has at least the book title and author on it. Sometimes it has library call number, publishing company and logo may be there as well.
This is where where the spine meets the covers. It is the part of the book that moves when you open the cover. It works a lot like the hinge on a door.

CHAPTER 1: CONSTRUCTION
CRASH/MULL Crash is the coarse, loosely woven cloth often used to line the spines of the book. Then, the layers of crash and glue form the spine lining used to stiffen and reinforce the binding edge of the text block. Not all types of binding use a cloth spine lining.
5
HEADCAP & TAILCAP The headcap is the top edges of the boards, spine, and text block when a book is upright on a shelf. The tail cap is the bottom edge of the boards, spine, and text block that the book rests on when it is sitting upright on a shelf. They really are the same thing; it just depends on which side of the book you are looking at.
HEADBAND/ENDBAND A functional or ornamental band made of colored silk or cotton that is fastened at the top of the spine. It was originally sewn into the boards or leaves to link the sections together, but now it’s used as decoration.

CHAPTER 1: CONSTRUCTION
PERFECT BINDING A binding method that utilizes a plastic glue to bind the loose leaves to the solid text block of a book. It is most commonly seen in binding paperback books.
13
MECHANICAL BINDING Sheets of paper are punched in a series of holes down the binding edge. This method uses wire, plastic coils, or rings to bind it by inserting the binding into the holes. This is most commonly seen in notebooks or books that open flat.

CHAPTER 1: CONSTRUCTION
COVERINGS There are different types of book bindings that are used. This can range from human flesh to leather to sheep skin, but whichever you use make sure to make it appropriate to your book.
TYPES OF COVERINGS: •Book Jacket •Belly Band •Slipcase
15
BOOK JACKET Most hard and soft cover books have a separate paper wrapper that covers the book and protects the cover. The book jacket may mimic the cover or include additional information including title, author, illustrations, promotional blurbs. A synopsis of the book’s contents and author’s biography typically appear on the book jacket flaps. The end papers that wrap around to the inside covers. This is not something that you have to have for your book, but it can add that little something extra to make it stand out.

BELLY BAND
SLIPCASE

CHAPTER 2: FRONT MATTER
FLYLEAF The flyleaf doesn’t have anything to do with flies. It does serve a very important purpose. It helps to protect the book from coming apart. Earlier in this book we talked about how to bind the book together. The flyleaf serves a purpose in that. It keeps the reader from seeing the ugly mull and creates a certain cuteness to the book itself. Sometimes the flyleaf is made of a nicer paperstock or sometiems it’s even colored.
23
ROMAN NUMERALS These pages are traditionally numbered with roman numerals. This is done for all of the front matter in a book. This is done to help seperate the front material from the body material.
24

CHAPTER 2: FRONT MATTER
VERSO Verso is a Latin word, so now you know a little Latin! It means the left hand page of an open book. It could also be the backside of something.
RECTO Recto is also a Latin word. It’s the opposite of the verso. That means if you remember from grade school, it’s the right handed side of an open book. It also means the front of something.
25
HALF-TITLE PAGE This page is just the title of the book. That’s it. It’s the first thing that would be after the flyleaf. This one is optional so if you don’t want it then feel free to leave it out.

It can also have the credits for the people who helped design it. This copyright page will help you to figure out the layout. You can also refer to the copyright page this book. They are all laid out differently but the most important thing is the printing information and the author information.

CHAPTER 3: BODY OF THE BOOK
CHAPTER HEAD These are the titles that help break up the book. In novels you can name them but that is optional. In a textbook the chapters become very important and can have very defined topics. That is when the chapter heads can be the most useful.
SUBHEADS These are the headings in each chapter that help to break up that chapter into smaller sections.
41
GUTTER The easiest way to find the gutter in a book is to open it. The middle part of the book where the pages meet is the gutter. One of the most important things to remember about the gutter is that if there is material on it then it is going to be distorted. When making a book it is very important to be aware of this.
