Preface and/or Introduction
Table of Contents
Photos or other black-and-white images… How many? _____ (see Step 10)
Special design elements and/or pages, e.g., chapter first page, exercises, text insets
Running header / Page Numbers – how should those read; where should they be placed?
Note: Running header is optional. Standard running header has the book title on the left-hand page header and the chapter title on the righthand page header. Or, it can have the book title on the left-hand page and author name on the righthand page. The page number can be included in the header at the top of the page, or it can be placed at the bottom of the page. Look at some books and decide what you like!
