When to use it.
Book Interior is a 12-page interior for a non-fiction book, typeset the way a trade publisher sets a hardback. It runs in book order from the frontispiece and title page through the copyright page, contents, epigraph and preface, to the last page of an introduction, a part title, a full-page figure and the chapter opening it faces, and two text pages with running heads, footnotes, an extract and a data table. It suits authors, small presses and organisations publishing a history, memoir or long report as a book, with one classic serif, true small caps, mirrored margins and a single second colour.
