As we all know, a book usually consists of cover, title page, copyright page (including abstract and copyright), preface, table of contents, text, postscript, references and appendix.
The title page, also known as the inner cover and the inner cover, is basically the same as the cover, and often includes the title, subtitle, names of all authors and translators, year and place of publication, etc. The title page generally has no pattern, and is usually printed with the text.
Copyright page, also called version record page and version description page, is an introduction to the history of a book since its birth, so that readers can understand the publication of this book. Sticking to the lower half of the back of the title page, the lower half of the last page of the book or the lower right half of the cover (referring to the horizontal version), most of them are printed with abstracts. The copyright page is printed with the title, author, publisher, printing house and publisher, as well as the format, edition, print run, print run, number of words, date, periodical and book number. Among them, the printed sheet is the basic unit used by the printing factory to calculate the typesetting, printing and paper use of a book. Generally, one side of a whole piece of paper is called a printed page, and the other side of a folio is also called a printed page. The number of words per page is equal to the number of words per page multiplied by the number of rows, and the number of words in a book is equal to the number of words per page multiplied by the number of pages. The figures, tables, formulas and blank lines on the page are all calculated according to the whole page, so "word count" does not represent the actual word count in the book.
2. Layout elements
Layout refers to the sum of graphic parts and blank parts on one side of books, periodicals and newspapers, that is, the width of a page of books and periodicals including the blank parts around the center of the page. You can see the overall design of the layout through the layout, and the layout elements are shown in Figure 2. 1.
The center of the page is located in the center of the page, and the text is arranged.
The characters and symbols with book eyebrows arranged in the upper part of the core are collectively called book eyebrows. Including page numbers, people and eyebrows. Generally used to retrieve chapters.
There are page numbers on each side of the text of books and periodicals, and generally the page numbers are on the edge of the book incision. In the printing industry, a page number is called one side, and two page numbers on the front and back are called one page.
Annotation, also known as annotation, is to explain and supplement the content of a text or a word. Scale notes arranged in rows, scale footnotes at the bottom of each page or scale notes at the back of the page, scale notes at the back of each article and scale notes at the back of the book. The number that identifies the comment in the text is called the comment code.
Step 3: One page
The size of the page is called folio, and folio is based on the whole paper. How many small pieces of paper are cut into a pair on each whole piece of paper? In China, it is customary to use geometric series to name folio.
Common paper sizes produced in China mainly include the following:
The specification of 787× 1092 mm flat base paper is the main specification of cultural paper in China at present, and most of the existing papermaking and printing machines in China produce and apply this specification of paper. At present, this size of paper is still used in Southeast Asian countries, and it is rarely used in other regions.
The size of 850× 1 168mm is made on the basis of 787× 1092mm 25 to meet the needs of large format. This size of paper is mainly used for the needs of large format, and the so-called 32-format book is made of this paper.
The size of 880× 1230mm paper is larger than other papers of the same format, so the utilization rate of paper is higher when printing, and the form is more beautiful and generous, which is an international standard.
4. Edition heart
The size of the book center is determined by the format of the book. The center is too small, the number of words will be reduced, and the center is too big, which is not conducive to beautiful layout. Generally, the spacing between words is smaller than the spacing between lines; The spacing between lines is smaller than the spacing between paragraphs; The spacing between paragraphs should be less than the surrounding white space.
The specific dimensions of the width and height of the core should be determined according to the size of the text, the number of lines per side and the number of words per line. And the number of rows on each side is affected by the row spacing. In printing standard terminology, the spacing between lines is called interline, and the distance between line centerlines is called line spacing. However, in Founder and Huaguang typesetting systems, line spacing in standard terminology is called line spacing. Books and periodicals are generally spaced (1/2), and there are also five/eight, three/four intervals. Table 2. 1 lists the number of words in different font sizes, different lines, different formats and the size of the page center.
Note: If eyebrows are added, the number of lines per page should be reduced by one line. The number of words and lines is calculated by the number five of Chinese characters.
