Series Page
The Library of Congress describes a series title page as a page presenting formal details of a monographic series or multivolume set. It often precedes the title page but can appear elsewhere, so the guide treats placement as variable publishing practice.
A series page identifies the series a book belongs to and may give the formal series title, editors, numbering, or other titles in the series. Placement varies by publisher.
