Hi, Shannon. In my humble opinion, if you do delete the page numbers because
they're not in any particular order and some are missing, don't add your
own. In that way, you'd be adding to the book. Sometimes, when you scan
something, page numbers don't always get recognized, anyway, so sometimes,
there are no page numbers in the book. That's why deleting them may not be
too bad of an idea, but you shouldn't add any of your own. Take care.

Jana,
I am reading it so I think I will just delete them. I had another thought.
After I finish checking this book out and fixing it I could let word put
page numbers in it. I know that the page numbers won't match the text copy
but there would be at least a place marker for the next reader to know where
the were reading should they have to pick the book back up. What do you
think? Is that a bad thing to do? I don't want to do anything that may get
me into trouble. I could make note of the page number changes when I submit
the book.
