A table of contents is an important part of a book. It gives us
information about what is inside a book. It tells us what
each of the parts of the book is about. It also tells us how to
go to the page where the part starts. A table of contents is
usually written as ‘contents’ at the top of the page. The list
of the parts is presented in the order that they appear in the
book. The list contains the titles or the names of the parts. It
sometimes mentions the sections as well as the subsection
titles with the chapter/ unit/lesson titles. It also includes the
foreword or preface, book map, index, and the page
numbers.
