Too little information. What kinds of books are you having problems with. Are
they typical paperbacks, hardcovers, or the larger hardcover-sized paperbacks
called trade paperbacks? What kind of scanner do you have? What are your
settings like for keeping suspicious regions, keeping partial columns and
margins? If you have the usual paperback, you would most likely be doing two
pages at once with the book either spread across the scanner or down the length
of the scanner. That shouldn't be a problem, but you would have to be holding
the book very flat so that the inner margins of the pages, nearest the binding,
touch the glass and so that the words on that part of the pages come out. If
you're doing such a book in single-page mode, it might be much harder to get
those inner words to come out. If you're loosing page numbers, where are they
likely to be? If they're at the beginning of the book, pages numbered 1-10,
that's not surprising because single numbers can look like meaningless material
to the program and would be left out. If they are numbers in the middles or
other parts of the book, maybe you have pages sticking together. Even then,
it's not hard to put those pages in. Have you asked someone who knows how to
do this kind of thing to stop by and take a look at how you're doing things?
Hope this helps and good luck.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] I'm probably gonna quit.
I just can't seem to get my books to come out right,
I can read them here and they sound fine I look at each page and it all seems
to go in order,
all I erase are the headers being very careful to not erase any numbers
whatsoever
but still their are pages missing
I can't see the missing pages from here
if the attachment can be sent gonna send it to Bob he has all of his books
approved because he is a pains takingly wonderful scanner and has been putting
out excellent books for years.
I hate to give up, it goes against my grain
but I can't keep working myself this hard without the book being excepted and
right so after some thinking for the next couple of days,
and yes for me prayer,
you may be less one volunteer because I've been working like crazy and
thought I would have a load of stuff to help out you folks, but so far all I've
been able to do is make a mess.
Thanks.
