I'm curious about the blank pages thing. I just scanned a book that
often has blank pages before the chapters so chapters begin on an
odd-numbered page. This problem brings up an old issue that we'll all
probably wish I hadn't brought up again. If we painstaking scan and do
a fairly decent job of saving indexes in long books, if you dump the
blank pages, you mess up the page numbering. Of course, that's no issue
with the brf copy because all print page numbers are trashed
unfortunately so the book can't be used as a reference. So guess my
question is why are blank pages being dumped?
Sorry if I'm stirring the pot again!!!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Just Released
Hi. I just released The Believer's Conditional Security back to the
step 1 downloads page. The book is structurally sound and is in rtf
format. I released it because there are a bunch of blank pages in
the file, and my copy of M.S. Word chokes at the size of the
file. Openbook will let me edit it, but it won't save the file
properly. A Kurzweil user could load it and just knock out the blank
pages and have a nice validation. There are little scannos as in any
book, but the book can be rated as good as it is right now. Most of
the words that would pop up on your spellchecker are Biblical names
and places. The copyright info is present on copyright.gov, so that
part is smooth sailing. The print book is around 800 pages in
length, and the unwanted blank pages all occur within the first 200
pages of the scan. I've learned a lot from reading this book, and I
hope someone else can make the validation process work.
