Books with paper covers may carry a colophon on the recto or verso of the back cover. The colophon gives information about its printing; it may also give the book's author and title. In a few cases the colophon may give information about the publishing of the book instead of, or in addition to, information about printing. ”—LCRI Appendix D 9/24/2020 Unit 4 6

Definitions (Appendix D) • These categories are rare in modern publishing, but may be encountered with special & area collections: – Caption title. “A title given at the beginning of the first page of the text or, in the case of a musical score, immediately above the opening bars of the music. ”—Appendix D – Running title. “A title, or abbreviated title, that is repeated at the head or foot of each page or leaf. ”—Appendix D 9/24/2020 Unit 4 7
