Half-Title Page This page is on the first recto (right-facing page, or front side of a sheet) of the book and contains only the main title of the book and nothing more. If the book is an English translation, the title of the book will be given here in English. No further text is given on this page. The verso (the left-facing page and opposite side of the same sheet as the recto mentioned above) of this first Half-Title is usu- ally left blank and no text is given on this page. Per the OSG, not all books have a Half-Title Page, and it is sometimes dispensed with as a space-saving measure. In Jama'at publications, the Half- Title Page is generally included for larger books.
