the essential elements of a front cover include title and author name.

all the leaves of the book. each leaf has two pages.
the title page of a book is the page at or near the front which displays its title, subtitle, author, publisher, and edition. (a half title, by contrast, displays only the title of a work.)
displayed on the rear of the title page includes the title of the book, the author’s name, the publisher information and country of printer/printing edition.

all the pages, numbered. usually grouped in chapters. sometimes the chapters are divided into subchapters. the first page of a chapter or a subchapter is listed in the table of contents.
