This title is printed to order. This book may have been self-published. If so, we cannot guarantee the quality of the content. In the main most books will have gone through the editing process however some may not. We therefore suggest that you be aware of this before ordering this book.

If you’re unsure whether to include a Preface, a Foreword, or a Prologue in your book, or don’t know what an Epigraph or a Colophon are, The Publisher’s Guide to Book Anatomy is for you.

If you’re an independent author publishing your own book, success depends on learning as much about publishing, book design, and marketing as about writing. This reference to Book Anatomy bridges part of the knowledge gap.

Even if you’re an established publishing house, this manual will serve as a useful reference for editors, authors, and designers.
