Part Title Page

Part title pages introduce large divisions that contain chapters. Wiley gives a specific recto/right-hand-page production rule for its workflow, but that placement should be treated as a publisher convention rather than universal grammar or document law.

Quick answer

A part title page opens a major division of a book. In Wiley’s print-ready guidance, part titles begin on a right-hand page; exact treatment depends on the publisher and design system.
