The copyright page shall record the title of the book, the name of the author or translator, the publisher, publishing house, printer, edition number, number of copies, format, number of words, date of publication, pricing, book number and other items according to relevant regulations. Book copyright pages are generally printed at the lower end of the back page of the title page.
The copyright page is mainly to let readers know about the publication of books, and it is often attached to the text of books and periodicals.
With the development of standardization of literature work and the implementation of CIP, the recorded contents of copyright pages will also increase, such as classification numbers, subject words, entries reflecting books, etc.

Copyright page notice:
1, mailing address, telephone number and zip code are unclear.
Publishers should do some detailed work in this respect to facilitate the interaction among readers, publishers, printing houses and publishers. Some copyright pages in Taiwan Province Province and books published by some domestic publishing houses (such as Golden Shield Publishing House) are worth learning from.
2. Location and design of copyright pages
Most of the copyright pages of domestic books have no fixed position, either on the back of the main title page, on the page behind the text, or on the back cover, which is inconvenient to find. According to the national standard GB 12450-90-90 book title page and the international standard ISO 1086-87 book title page, the copyright page should be arranged on the back of the main title page.
3. Incomplete edition
The reason why the number of prints is not indicated on the copyright page is to prevent the piracy of illegal booksellers, but the number of prints that are not indicated has brought some bad consequences. First, the management department has incomplete data about books, which brings confusion to management; Secondly, it may bring potential infringement consequences to the author, if a book is clearly published with 6,543,800 copies. The publishing house falsely reported only 50 thousand copies to the author, and the author's rights and interests were obviously infringed.
