Excerpt from A Library Primer: For High SchoolsContents - The table of contents follows the preface and precedes the list of illustrations. The table is a list of the titles of the chapters, or of the subjects treated in the book. The list is arranged, not alphabetically, but in the order of treatment in the book. These titles are usually brief but may be of sufficient length to indicate the scope and content of the chapters. The classifier can usually determine from the title page, preface, and contents the subject of the book and consequently the class to which it belongs.The text - This is the main part of the book and is usually divided into chapters. Explanatory notes and references to source material are printed at the bottom of the pages in smaller type. They are separated from the text so as not to interrupt the thought with too much detail. In case the reader may want further information, he can secure it by examining the references given at the bottom of the pages. The text is frequently separate ly paged, but later books run consecutive paging for preface, con tents and text.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
