HALF-TITLE

The half-title ordinarily consists of a single line, standing by

itself on the first page of the leaf immediately preceding the first

page of the text, and carries the title of the book as at the top of

the first page of text. It is frequently confused with the bastard or

false-title, which always precedes the title-page. Half-titles may also

run through the book before various divisions, but the bastard-title

never moves from its one position at the beginning of the volume.
