For Fiction and Business Books...
When you write and publish a book, there are several legal requirements you need in order for it to be sold in bookshops. The first is you must have an ISBN number (even if you want to sell your book on Amazon). The second is a Title Verso Page – which literally translated means ‘reversed title page’ as it usually is printed on the back of the first title page within your book.
This is where your copyright declaration is, and all the info about printers, typesetters, ISBN number, etc.
I have created a template for you, which you can just paste and copy into your book. All you need to do is fill in the relevant info (highlighted in green) – such as the date your book was published, its title, author name, etc.
I usually use a small font, no bigger than 10 point. Title Verso For Business and Title Verso For Fiction (then when you have opened it, just highlight the relevant parts and copy).
If you have any questions about this, or any other aspect of your self-publishing project, feel free to get in touch. Email me at alexa@thebookrefinery.com or simply comment using the box below and leave me your contact information, and I will get in touch.
