Hi, I've seen Braille books which are paginated in the following way:
prefatory material pages are written as p1, p2, ..., while the text outside
the prefatory material will be paginated 1, 2, etc. it's only the page sign
in front of the number which marks prefatory pages while the body of the
text after such does not have a P to mark numbers. Would that suit you. I
learned about Roman numerals in school and they are clumsy, but I'm used to
them. Perhaps what I've written above might be classified as an alternative.
What do you think of that? Regards, Kim.

Let me dispute the recommendation that the first page of the actual novel be
labeled page 1 and the preliminary pages be labeled with Roman numerals. 
That might be the case usually, but it is not necessarily so. I would say
that it should be done that way only if that is the way the book does it. 
Right now, for example, I am working on a book in which page one is actually
the first of the preliminary pages and the main text does not start until
about page 9. I would prefer it if all books were paginated that way, but
unfortunately it seems that only a minority are.
