Would it be crazy to put the copyright stuff before the table of contents? This is not totally unheard of. In a lot of books the copyright info is on the back of the title page and then followed by the table of contents. We could still refer to the location of the table of contents as i, ii and then the ToC could be iii - iv or something like that and then the chapter would start as p. 1.Linda Worthington wrote:

Gorgeous! I love it. I notice you used the old-licensed template. I just updated it to refer to the new license:

My edits:
* Updated the copyright section to the new one we've discussed. * Removed the footer from the front page (it was a PDL thing). * I updated the instructions. * I removed a bunch of styles that were made for the PDL.
Two requests for everyone:
* Please check my edits.
* Please use this new file as a starting point. So all ne subsequent edits also include the copyright section, instructions, styles, etc.
I used the current 2.0 template. I added the graphics from the Guide covers. The new template size is 106kb and the old 2.0 template is 100kb so there isn't a huge size difference.
Indeed, hardly a difference at all. And when you add the first screenshot, the relative difference will be nothing.
Great work Linda!
I'm going to print out your page and see how it looks. I may have questions about it later.
Cheers,
It seems more logical to me that way, though I can't put my finger on as to why. I think it is because general in a book after you read the ToC, there is no more copyright info.
Am I crazy?
