If you look at some of the books on your shelf, you’ll see
some consistency as to how the internal layout is ordered. The Chicago Manual
of Style also helps you step-by-step through this process and describes, in
much detail, as to what each element is, such as a Foreword, Appendix, etc. Not
every book will have a review page, appendixes, glossary, or even bibliography.
Every book should have a title page, copyright page, and table of contents.
Here is a template for the order of sections in a typical book.
Title page: might include just the title and author; can include edition and
publisher
Copyright page: publishing information, ISBN, CIP, copyright holder, year…
Reviews: may or may not be included in a book; this is where you commonly see
them
Dedication
Table of contents
Foreword
Introduction
Other front matter: might include map (such as in military planning), list of
abbreviations, etc.
Chapters
Conclusion, Afterword, Epilogue
Appendixes: explanations and/or elaborations of chapter material
Chronology
Endnotes
Glossary
Bibliography or references
List of contributors
Index
If a book is hardcover, then it is common to have the author information on the
cover wrap. Otherwise, if a book is softcover, the author information might be
on the back cover or inside, after the conclusion.
