So how do we know what pages to include in a book?

Are you struggling to figure out where your copyright information should be placed in your book? If you answered yes, then this guide is for you. We will provide you with advice for including pages in your book and their traditional placement within a book at the time of printing your book.

Booksmart Studio has created a starter guide that will help you to determine where critical pages of your book should be placed within your covers. These guidelines follow the Chicago style guide for books and their pages, which serves as a guide for publishers and book artists.
