A typical Book, in English at least, consists of some meta-information in a BookInfo (Title, Author, Copyright, and so on), one or more Prefaces, several Chapters, and perhaps a few Appendixes. A Book may also contain Bibliographys, Glossarys, Indexes and a Colophon.
Example 2-2 shows the structure of a typical book. Additional content is required where the ellipses occur.
