Chapter XIV: Introduction: (always a right-hand page)
The Introduction follows the List of Illustrations, and its composition should be in the same size and face as the body of the book. Any typographical distinction between Preface and Introduction should be limited to the former, as stated under "Preface." Authors are not always clear in their understanding of the difference between a Preface and an Introduction. Their Introduction often is really a Preface, and should be so entitled and placed in the book accordingly. The Preface is the author's personal remarks to the reader, and these may be of any character, treating of any subject. The Introduction, on the other hand, should treat specifically of the subject of the book, and should contain only statements of direct bearing and importance.
HALF TITLE (_always a right-hand page_)
As the Bastard Title always precedes the Title Page, so the Half Title always precedes the first page of the text--the page which carries the title of the book at its top. The Half Title must always be on the right-hand page immediately preceding this page, and it should consist of not more than the title of the volume. Half Titles may run through a book before various divisions.
Those sections of a book which follow the text must be treated with the same typographic care as the pages which precede the text. These sections are usually as follows:
