[stylist] title page

[Lynda Lambert]

Barbara,
I would take a look at a number of other such books and see what you find 
there on the Title Pages of those books. It can vary greatly, so it is a 
matter of preference - decide how YOUR title page will look. I think your 
idea of putting your memories into a book with a focus on the school would 
be of interest to others who went there.

You can create your title page, and other pages for your book according to 
how you want it to be - you will find that all books have various kinds of 
information on pages - There is no written in stone-type of format for it.

When I taught memoir writing, our first project for the students was to 
gather the first chapter and title page from 10 different books. Each 
student brought in 10, and then we shared the information in the class. It 
gave the students the big picture of what the beginnings of a book look 
like - and all are different in format, information, and approach.
