IMHO there's a real value in an html TOC at the front, though not of course if it consists only of One, Two, En... Some Daniel Silva books have fifty or sixty numbered chapter titles, so the html TOC is utterly useless.
I wouldn't put the dedication at the front, either. Mostly I do without. If I'm reprinting an old book, I put it at the top of the copyright page, at the back. (I link to the copyright page in the TOC.) For my own more recent work, I do it as narrative in the Notes & Sources section, or a From the Author page at the back.
And yes, no half-title, Also by the Author at the back, no foreword or prologue or introduction (that material either worked into Chapter One or banished to the back).
