A book with chapters (not to be confused with the <a href="/wiki/Chapter_book" title="Chapter book">chapter book</a>) may have multiple chapters that respectively comprise discrete topics or themes.

Novels sometimes use a table of contents, but not always. If chapters are used they are normally numbered sequentially; they may also have titles, and in a few cases an <a href="/wiki/Epigraph_(literature)" title="Epigraph (literature)">epigraph</a> or prefatory quotation. In older novels it was a common practice to summarise the content of each chapter in the table of contents and/or in the beginning of the chapter. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Unusual_numbering_schemes">Unusual numbering schemes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Chapter_(books)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Unusual numbering schemes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In works of fiction, authors sometimes number their chapters eccentrically, often as a <a href="/wiki/Metafictional" class="mw-redirect" title="Metafictional">metafictional</a> statement.

This is the reason chapters in recent reproductions and translations of works of these periods are often presented as "Book 1", "Book 2" etc. </p><p>In the early printed era, long works were often published in multiple volumes, such as the Victorian <a href="/wiki/Three-volume_novel" title="Three-volume novel">triple decker novel</a>, each divided into numerous chapters. Modern omnibus reprints will often retain the volume divisions. In some cases the chapters will be numbered consecutively all the way through, such that "Book 2" might begin with "Chapter 9", but in other cases the numbering might reset after each part (i.e., "Book 2, Chapter 1"). Even though the practice of dividing novels into separate volumes is rare in modern publishing, many authors still structure their works into "Books" or "Parts" and then subdivide them into chapters. A notable example of this is <i><a href="/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings" title="The Lord of the Rings">The Lord of the Rings</a></i> which consists of six "books", each with a recognizable part of the story, although it is usually published in three volumes. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Literature">Literature</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Chapter_(books)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Literature"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Nicholas Dames: <i>The Chapter: A Segmented History from Antiquity to the Twenty-First Century</i>.
