If you have a style you would like to contribute, please send it to me\footnote{I am currently at \texttt{herries dot press (at) earthlink dot net}}, with code, and I will include it in the next version with due acknowledgements. \LaTeX{} provides the \cs{author}, \cs{title} and \cs{date} commands for specifying the author, title, and date of a work. The \cs{maketitle} command is then used to print these. If the document is more like a book or a report than an article there is a temptation to use a \texttt{titlepage} environment and \cs{maketitle} to print the title page. However, there are many designs for title pages other than that provided by \cs{maketitle}, and it may be advantageous to define your own rather than relying on the default which, I think, is more suited for an article than any substantive work. Quoting from Ruari McLean~\cite{MCLEAN80} in reference to the title page, he says: \begin{quote} From the designer's point of view, it is the most important page in the book: it sets the style. It is the page which opens communication with the reader. \ldots If illustrations play a large part in the book, the title page opening should, or may, express this visually. If any form of decoration is used inside the book, e.g., for chapter openings, one would expect this to be repeated or echoed on the title page. Whatever the style of the book, the title page should give a foretaste of it. If the book consists of plain text, the title page should at least be in harmony with it. \end{quote} This short document provides some examples of title page designs. I claim no credit for any of these as I found them in books in my library and all I did was create \LaTeX{} code to demonstrate their general appearance. A list of the sources is given in the Bibliography. In the real world many different fonts were used %but for illustrative purposes I have restricted the ones here to Knuth's %Computer Modern Roman family. and I have used some here, although I have set most pages with Knuth's Computer Modern Roman family. The title page for this document is based on one of the examples. Several designs are shown following this introduction and the code for each is given at the end. There is no particular ordering to the examples apart from the order in which I found them. The designs are meant as possible starting points for exercising your creativity. While on the subject of introductory pages, the copyright page of a book like the title page, is an individual design and I cannot think that a generic \LaTeX{} command or environment for the contents of a copyright page would be of any use. The example copyright page of this work was laid out by hand; fortunately there is no requirement for typographical perfection --- it is more a question of printing the required information than anything else. \chapter{Example title pages} Each example is shown in a frame which represents the textblock, although it is shrunk slightly here in order to get the illustrations on to the pages without \LaTeX{} complaining about `\texttt{overfull} this or that'. The frame is designed to fit this document --- the title pages used as exemplars had textblocks that were wider or narrower and/or longer or shorter than here. At the bottom of each frame is the name of the command used to generate the title page material (the code for these is given later). The same general title, not, I hope, a real one, has been used throughout but the surrounding details may differ from one example to another. The fonts used in the originals were many and varied. Most used black but in some cases the main title was set in color --- typically red. Printers' ornaments were used in some of the originals and I have included some here to indicate the flavour of the originals. In some cases the publisher's logo was put on the title page. Here I have used \plogo{} to represent the logos. In some cases the year of publication was included on the title page and I have indicated where this was placed by {\scshape year}. In brief, the examples given here are merely sketches of the real title pages but hopefully convey the spirit, if not the elegance, of the originals. The exception to all the above is the last example, which is a real title page shown in all its glory and at its true typeblock size --- the (double) frame in this case being an integral part of the design. It is from an old book, probably dating to the late 18th or early 19th century, that I reset using \LaTeX. \begin{showtitle} \titleJT \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleJT?} \begin{showtitle} \titleTH \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleTH?} \begin{showtitle} \titleM \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleM?} \begin{showtitle} \titleS \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleS?} \begin{showtitle} \titleRF \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleRF?} \begin{showtitle} \titleDB \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleDB?} \begin{showtitle} \titleAM \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleAM?} \begin{showtitle} \titleP \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleP?} \begin{showtitle} \titleGM \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleGM?} \begin{showtitle} \titlePM \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titlePM?} \begin{showtitle} \titleAT \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleAT?} \begin{showtitle} \titleLL \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleLL?} \begin{showtitle} \titleCC \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleCC?} \begin{showtitle} \titleDS \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleDS?} \begin{showtitle} \titleMS \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleMS?} \begin{showtitle} \titlePW \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titlePW?} \begin{showtitle} \titleSW \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleSW?} \begin{showtitle} \titleTMB \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleTMB?} \begin{showtitle} \titleJE \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleJE?} \begin{showtitle} \titleZD \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleZD?} \begin{showtitle} \titleWH \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleWH?} \begin{showtitle} \titleBWF \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleBWF?} \begin{showtitle} \titleSI \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleSI?} \begin{showtitle} \titleGP \end{showtitle} {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleGP?} %%\noindent \titleRB {\par\vspace{0.2\baselineskip}\footnotesize \verb?\titleRB?} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \appendix \chapter{The code} The code for each of the designs is given below. I have created a new length, called \cs{drop}, which I have used in some of the code just to make life a little easier for myself. The \texttt{memoir} class defines the \cs{HUGE} fontsize which I've used in the examples; change it to \cs{Huge} if you are not using \texttt{memoir}. Apart from those there is nothing untoward about any of the examples. You can use any of them, after changing the words and spacing to suit, along the lines of: \begin{verbatim} \providecommand{\HUGE}{\Huge}% if not using memoir \newlength{\drop}% for my convenience \begin{document} \pagestyle{empty} \titleX \clearpage ... \end{verbatim} Some of the original title pages used color. In such cases I have used a shade of gray instead, which requires the \texttt{color} package. The values I have used are below, together with the definition of the publisher's logo (\cs{plogo}): \begin{verbatim} \usepackage{color} \definecolor{Dark}{gray}{.2} \definecolor{Medium}{gray}{.6} \definecolor{Light}{gray}{.8} \newcommand*{\plogo}{\fbox{$\mathcal{PL}$}} \end{verbatim} In other cases I have used the \texttt{graphicx} package to scale or rotate elements of the design. You may, of course, want to add or subtract material from the examples, such as including a publication date or removing the publisher, or use a different font (or fonts). The design is in your hands. \section{titleJT} This is based on the title page of \emph{Jan Tschichold: Typographer}~\cite{MCLEAN75}. The book was designed by Herbert\index{Spencer, Herbert} Spencer and Christine\index{Charlton, Christine} Charlton. The text type is 12/14 Monotype Garamond 156 with chapter headings in 24 point Sabon Semi-bold. I used Garamond for the printed example. \begin{verbatim} \newcommand*{\titleJT}{\begingroup% Jan Tschichold: typographer \drop = 0.08\textheight \vspace*{\drop} \hspace*{0.3\textwidth} {\Large The Author}\\[2\drop] \hspace*{0.3\textwidth}{\Huge\itshape The Big Book of}\par {\raggedleft\Huge\itshape Conundrums\par} \vfill \hspace*{0.3\textwidth}{\Large \plogo}\\[0.5\baselineskip] \hspace*{0.3\textwidth}{\Large The Publisher} \vspace*{\drop} \endgroup} \end{verbatim} \section{titleTH} This is based on the title page of Thames and Hudson's \emph{Manual of Typography} by Ruari McLean~\cite{MCLEAN80}.

I obtained the various numbers used in the setting of the ornaments through trial and error as it is a once-off layout, but it would be possible to calculate them. Note the use of color for the printers' ornaments. The book consists of several parts and the title page ornaments are repeated on each \cs{part} page, thus stylistically tying them together with the title page. \begin{verbatim} \newcommand*{\wb}[2]{\fontsize{#1}{#2}\usefont{U}{webo}{xl}{n}} \newcommand*{\titlePM}{\begingroup% \titleGM with Ornaments \drop = 0.1\textheight \vspace*{\baselineskip} \vfill \hbox{% \hspace*{0.1\textwidth}% {\wb{18pt}{18pt} \begin{picture}(0,0) \multiput(0,0)(0,20){22}{\textcolor{Medium}{Q}} \end{picture} } % \rule{1pt}{\textheight} \hspace*{0.15\textwidth}% \parbox[b]{0.75\textwidth}{ \vbox{% \vspace{\drop} {\noindent\HUGE\bfseries Some\\[0.5\baselineskip] Conundrums}\\[2\baselineskip] {\Large\itshape Puzzles for the Mind}\\[4\baselineskip] {\Large THE AUTHOR}\par \vspace{0.5\textheight} {\noindent The Publisher}\\[\baselineskip] }}}% ends of vbox/parbox/hbox \vfill \null \endgroup} \end{verbatim} \section{titleAT} This is based on the title page from \emph{Anatomy of a Typeface}~\cite{LAWSON90}.

The style is definitely Victorian and it looks as though the printer used every font that he had in his shop. He was most likely the designer as well. The two lengths \cs{rbtextwidth} and \cs{rbtextheight} are the true dimensions of the original textblock (in the original code \cs{textwidth} and \cs{textheight} were used). The command \cs{strip@pt}\cs{alength} is from the \LaTeX{} kernel and strips the two characters `pt' from the value of \cs{alength}. In this case I have used it as a means of using length values instead of plain integers in the \texttt{picture} environment (the default unit of measurement in the environment is 1pt). I used Century Old Style for setting the title page and text and Algerian for the cover. These are both part of the FontSite 500 fonts~\cite{LEAGUE02} (the FontSite CD is commercial but all the \LaTeX{} setup has been done for you by Christopher League).
