Usually they should have page numbers.

Sincerely, Robert Gustafson

It depends on what the topic and how you have written it. Generally, for a non-fiction book the only thing that is “required” is an Introduction. A Foreword (written by someone other than the author who is an authority in the field) is also good if you can get it. Most non-fiction books don’t have an Epilogue or Afterword.

EPILOGUE OR AN
AFTERWORD. FOR SEVERAL OF THEM ARE DECEASED NOW AND I KNOW– IN LIEU OF THINGS– PEOPLE WILL WANT TO KNOW HOW AND WHY WE LOSS SO MANY OF OUR MUSICIANS,THANKS.

Font should usually be the same size through out the book. Titles and headings would usually be a different size. Call outs can be a different size. Usually the body of the text should be the same size.

Please see the end of the article where I talk about the Back Matter. Normally a book would not have a conclusion but you might have an Epilogue or Afterword.

The only thing i need help with is what should be included in the conclusion.
