%     To process this file as intended you need the FontSite 500 CD collection 
% of fonts from http://www.fontsite.com/, and Christopher League's `TeX 
% support for the FontSite 500 CD' http://contrapunctus.net/fs500tex/. 
% If you do not have these, then uncomment the \renewcommand*{\FSfont}[1]{} 
% line below.
%
%     You will also need the Galapagos Design Group's free Web-O-Mints font
% http://www.galapagosdesign.com/original/webomints.htm and their (La)TeX
% support CTAN/fonts/webomints
%
%    If you use xelatex to process the file then you will also need the
% free IM Fell font from http://iginomarini.com/fell/the-revival-fonts.
%
%     Of course, you need the memoir class, which should be on your system.

\chapter{Introduction}

    This document presents various styles of designs for 
title pages.
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 forty or so 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 
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.

   The designs are shown following this introduction and the code for 
each is 
given at the end. There is no particular ordering to the examples, not
even 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.

\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}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\ifpdf
  \usepackage{pdfcolmk}

\ifxetex
  \usepackage{fontspec}
\fi
\usepackage{graphicx}
%%\usepackage{hyperref}
%% drawing package
\usepackage{tikz}
%% for dingbats
\usepackage{pifont}

\providecommand{\HUGE}{\Huge}% if not using memoir
\newlength{\drop}% for my convenience

\makeatother

\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\titleX
\clearpage
...
\end{verbatim}

    Some of the original title pages used color. In such cases I have tried
to match the colors using palette provided by the \texttt{svgnames} option 
to the \texttt{xcolor} package.

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.

    I used slightly different coding than given below to display the graphic 
examples in order to produce slightly smaller displays than the following
macros will provide. If you are interested look in the preamble of
the source file \texttt{titlepages.tex}.

    
\section{titleJT \refit{JT}}

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. Page size is 57pc by 57pc.

    I used Garamond for the printed example.

\begin{verbatim}

\end{verbatim}

\section{titleTH \refit{TH}}

This is based on the title page of Thames and Hudson's \emph{Manual of
Typography} by Ruari McLean~\cite{MCLEAN80}. The main element of the
title was set using a red font with everything else in normal black. If you
use this you need the \texttt{xcolor} package. The page size is 38 by 57pc.

\begin{verbatim}

\section{titleM \refit{M}}

This is based on a title page designed by Jan\index{Tschichold, Jan} 
Tschichold in 1954 for a King Penguin book on Misericords and 
shown in~\cite{MCLEAN80}.

\section{titleHGP \refit{HGP}}

    This example is based on the title page of the English translation of
an 18th Century Japanese book on papermaking~\cite{HAMILTON48}. In the
original the Japanese title is given using Latin characters,
\emph{Kamisuki Ch\={o}h\={o}ki}, in a large 
font followed by the English title in italics. The Japanese title
in Kanji is in red vertically at the right side of the page.

    In my version I used Fette Gotisch instead of Kanji. The original
page size is 36 by 54pc. Interestingly the page size of a Japanese
edition that I have, published around 1943, is almost the same at
33 by 55pc.

\section{titleRF \refit{RF}}

This is based on a title page designed by Rudolph\index{Ruzicka, Rudolph} 
Ruzicka in 1971 for an Imprint Society's book of Robert Frost's poetry and
shown in~\cite{MCLEAN80}. The text is set with Ruzicka's Linotype Fairfield
with the display lines in Monotype Bembo.

    I used Bergamo (Bembo) for the printed example.

\section{titleAT \refit{AT}}

This is based on the title page from \emph{Anatomy of a Typeface}~\cite{LAWSON90}.
In the original both the title, in a decorative font, and the 
publisher's logo were in red.
You will need the \texttt{xcolor} package for this style. The text was
set in Galliard, designed by Matthew Carter. The page size is 36 by 54pc.

    I used Mona Lisa for the main title and Bergamo (Bembo) for the 
remainder in the printed example.

designed by Adrian\index{Wilson, Adrian} Wilson. The types used in the book 
are handset Palatino and Linotype Aldus, designed by Hermann Zapf. The
page size is 51 by 66pc.

    I used URW Palladio (Palatino) for the printed example.

Bembo.

The page size is 43 by 55pc. In the original the main element of the title 
was set in a light blue font. The \texttt{xcolor} package is 
needed for this style.

\section{titleGM \refit{GM}}

    The original for this is the title page for \emph{Gentle Madness} by 
Nicholas Basbanes~\cite{BASBANES95}, except that the vertical rule was made up
of printers' ornaments in the original. The book was designed by 
Paula\index{Szafranski, Paula R} R.~Szafranski, and the page size is 36 by 54pc.

\begin{verbatim}

\section{titlePM \refit{PM}}

    This is a version of \cs{titleGM} which is closer to the original as I 
have used ornaments from the Web-O-Mints font~\cite{WEBOMINTS} instead of the 
vertical rule. These should be available on your system (but you may have to
install the \texttt{webo.map} file). 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 a gray
shade 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.

    A title page for a work that consists of two or more volumes. It is based
on a Survey of Cambridge~\cite{CAMBRIDGE59} which was published in 2 Parts,
plus a set of maps. The page size is 50 by 63.5pc. 
The main element of the title was set using a red font,
everything else was as normal. If you try this you need to use the
\texttt{xcolor} package.

letterpaper, 51.5 by 66pc. The permitted fonts
were Arial, Century, Garamond, Lucida Bright, Tahoma, Times, or Verdana.
The same font and size had to be used throughout the thesis. I used Times

\section{titleBC \refit{BC}}

    This is based on the title page of \textit{Bookbinding \& Conservation}
by Don Etherington\cite{ETHERINGTON10}, a well known book conservator
and binder. The book was designed and typeset
by Maria Mann\index{Mann, Maria}. The page size is 50.5 by 66.5pc.
 Four colours were used for the original 
titlepage. The horizontal braces were set in a kind of gold, the main title
in a sort of sepia brown with the subtitle in a lighter shade, and the 
remainder in black. The horizontal braces carried over into the main
work where they were used above and below the chapter titles.

    My example is set with Jenson Recut (Centaur) which is not too dissimilar
from the original. I used rotated braces above and below the title.

\begin{verbatim}
\newcommand*{\rotrt}{\rotatebox{90}{#1}}
\newcommand*{\rotlft}{\rotatebox{-90}{#1}}

\section{titleTMB \refit{TMB}}

    A somewhat old fashioned title page style which, however, suits the
period of the book --- \emph{Three Men in a Boat}~\cite{JEROME64}, first 
published in 1889. The edition that I have has a page size of 31 by 51pc.

    I had to do a lot of hand adjustments to the spacing to get a 
reasonable look for the example.

\section{titleFT \refit{FT}}

    This is modeled after the title page of Stanley\index{Morison, Stanley}
 Morison's magnificent 
\emph{John Fell, the University Press and the `Fell' types}~\cite{MORISON67}
published by Oxford University Press on 12 October 1967 --- the day after
Morison died. It is a large book --- double crown quarto pages of handmade
rag paper --- printed with handset lead type cast from the matrices
bequeathed to the Press by John Fell in 1686. For more details
about the book and type see \cite{OULD00,OULD03,THOMAS05}.

    I have used the IM Fell type in the example, the original page size
being 60 by 90pc.

published in 1847. The Folio Society edition is set in 10 point Scotch Roman 
leaded 1~1/2 points and the page size is 33 by 52.5pc.

    My example is set with Century Old Style

\section{titleZD \refit{ZD}}

    This is an elaborate style using printers' ornaments and based on
the title page of the Folio Society's edition of \emph{Zuleika Dobson}
by Max Beerbohm~\cite{BEERBOHM66}. The text was set with 11/12 Monotype
Ehrhardt on a page size of 32 by 51pc. 
The book was originally published in 1911.

I have used one of the ornaments from the Web-O-Mints font~\cite{WEBOMINTS}, 
which in this case matches the one used in the original, and rotating it via
the \texttt{graphicx} package. I also made
an ornament by combining the two math symbols $\prec$ and $\succ$.

\section{titleWM \refit{WM}}

    This is a representation of the kind of titlepage represented
by \textit{The Ideal Book}~\cite{PETERSON82} designed by William 
S.~Peterson\index{Peterson, William S}. The text was set in Bembo
and the titles were set in William Morris's Golden type. The page
size is 45 by 65pc. 

    In the original the text at the top of the titlepage was printed 
with a red ink while the rest of the page was in regular black. 
Between the title and the publisher
was a 16th Century woodcut of a printers workshop. I have used Bergamo (Bembo)
in the graphic examplar and a large `?' instead of a woodcut.

\section{titleWH \refit{WH}}

    The inspiration for this style came from one of the Cambridge University
Printer's Christmas books --- \emph{Words in Their Hands} by Walter
Nurnberg~\cite{NURNBERG64}. I assume that Brooke\index{Crutchley, Brooke} 
Crutchley, the Printer, was also the designer as, unlike in some other books 
in the series, no designer was mentioned. The page size is 43 by 52pc.

    I used one of the ornaments from the Web-O-Mints font~\cite{WEBOMINTS} 
for the page, in 
two instances stretching it via the \texttt{graphicx} package.

   This page doesn't look much out of the ordinary --- it is

\emph{The Sagas of the Icelanders}~\cite{THORSSON00}, page size 36 by 55.5pc.
However, this is one in a series of books called \emph{World of the Sagas},
the whole being produced by an editor and several translators. These, together
with the names of the editorial advisory board, are listed on the
recto page facing the title page, thus making up a double spread.

Incline Press.\footnote{A more affordable version is published by Dover in 
1976 with the title \emph{The Book of Trades} (\isbn\ 0-486-22886-X).} 
The cuts --- wood cuts of 16th Century craftsmen --- were 
introduced by Veronica\index{Speedwell, Veronica} Speedwell who, I believe, 
also designed the book. The page size is 30 by 47pc.

    I used Abbot Old Style for the main title and Belwe for the remainder.

    This is a title page based on one~\cite{WILSON92} of a series of books 
reporting on various annual workshops organised by the International 
Federation for Information Processing. This particular workshop was 
held in a retreat in the 
foothills of the Catskill  Mountains in New York and well away from any 
distractions (unless you liked hiking).

   Camera-ready copy for the publisher was created via \LaTeX. The final
page size was 35.5 by 53.5.

Jan van Krimpen's Romulus at 12/15pt on a page size of 51 by 66pc. The main
title was set with outline (hollow) type. It was
printed on a Western proof press at the Old School Press.

    For the example, not having a simple outline font, I have used Erbar 
Deco for the main title and Libertine instead of Romulus for the remainder.

The page size is 41 by 64.5pc.

    The original was composed in Monotype Italian Old Style but not
having that I have used Jenson Recut (Centaur) instead

\section{titleRMMH \refit{RMMH}}

    This style is based on the titlepage of \textit{The Bookbinding
Career of Rachel McMasters Miller Hunt}~\cite{TITCOMBE74}. The Hunt
Institute for Botanical Documentation and its Hunt Botanical Library
were founded in 1960 by Roy Arthur Hunt and his wife Rachel McMasters
Miller Hunt (1882--1963). Rachel Miller as she was then started designer
bookbinding as a `hobby' in 1904 and cotinued after her marriage until 1920
creating over 120 elegant works in that time.

    The frontispiece of the book in question is an oval photograph of a 
very attractive young Edwardian lady. The same size oval ring on the titlepage
encloses the title together with a rectangular frame of printers ornaments, 
which are also used to frame the chapter titles. The book was designed by
Thomas C. Pears III~\index{Pears, Thoms C. III} and set in Monotype Spectrum
with Hunt Roman, designed by Hermann Zapf for the Hunt Botanical Library.
The page size is 44 by 62pc.

    In the printed example I have used Vendome as I have neither 
Spectrum nor Hunt. As you might infer from the code below there is a lot
of trial and error involved in getting all the elements positioned well
with each other.

\begin{verbatim}

Jessica\index{Lagunas, Jessica} Lagunas. The page size is 36 by 54pc.

page size is 40 by 57pc.

    I used Cipollini for the main title and Garamond for the remainder. In
the center of the original titlepage there is a woodcut of a knight on 
horseback; I have used a large `?' instead.

  The titlepage of \emph{Into Print}~\cite{DREYFUS95} is the basis for
this example. The book was designed by John\index{Trevitt, John} Trevitt 
and printed at the Stamperia Valdonega under the supervision of Martino
Mardersteig using Dante VAL, a special version of Monotype Dante.
The page size is 36 by 54pc.

    The original used a Greek key motif below the main title, and also
below each chapter head.

    I used Palladio (Palatino) in my example and a row of dingbats
instead of the key motif.

  \emph{An Approach to Type}~\cite{BIGGS62} provides an introduction to
type and its history and use. This is followed by extended examples of
some 20 or so types that have proved useful over the decades and centuries.
The page size is 44 by 58.5pc.

    Although it was not stated, I think that Bodoni was used as the main type
in the original titlepage, and I have used the same. I don't know
what was the display type for the main title word but I have used
a heavy-bold Clarendon.

    The title was set in the striking Carolus type by Karl-Erik Forsberg,
and the remainder in Bembo. In the center of the titlepage is a partitioned
box containing the devices for the four plays developed by the designer.
The page size is 56 by 73.5pc.

    In my rendition I have used Cipollini for the main title and Lanston Bell 
for the remainder. In my case the `devices' are simply `?'.

\section{titleRB \refit{RB}}

    This is the title page of an old book that I reset using \LaTeX. 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 page size is 28 by 45pc.

    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).

    I used Century Old Style for the printed example.
