38 TAŞNİF STYLE GUIDE Page Numbering As mentioned earlier with reference to the first page of every new section in the Front Matter, the first page number may not be dis- played, although it is counted in the Roman numbering. Similarly, the first pages in the Main Text (e. g. of parts or chapters) may not display a page number, but are counted in the Arabic numeral pag- ination. All subsequent pages do, however, show page numbers. Page numbering in the Main Text is given in digits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. The Main Text begins with the number 1. In other words, the Main Text page numbering does not continue the sequence of the Front Matter's Roman numeral pagination. Headers and Footers Most books will contain a header and footer; however, this is not always the case and depends on the type of book. Children's books, for example, and elaborately designed or illustrated books, and smaller booklets generally do not include headers or footers within them. In such cases where the books are unique from one to another, flexibility in design should be considered to ensure the highest quality product from the readers' points of view. The header text is usually given on top of a solid underline that extends the width of the page header. Page numbers may be given in the outermost end of the headers. The reason for this is twofold: 1) End placement allows searching for a specific page with less 'page-bending' since they are towards the outer edges
