Copyright Page in a Book

Post by AleCes »

Hello everybody,

Is there a command in the book document class that typesets a copyright page in the opening pages of the book?

Minimal example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}

\title{MY BOOK}
\author{Me}
\date{}

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
  \tableofcontents

  \chapter{Introduction}
  \chapter{Conclusion}
\end{document}

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

There is no command to setup a copyright page, you'll have to set it up manually after your title. To quote Peter Wilson from his Some Examples of Title Pages:
While on the subject of introductory pages, the copyright page of a book like the title page, is an individual design and I cannot think that a generic LATEX command or environment for the contents of a copyright page would be of any use. The example copyright page of this work was laid out by hand; fortunately there is no requirement for typographical perfection — it is more a question of printing the required information than anything else.
Perhaps this page helps: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... title-page
