Good description Mike.

The main thing is to find page 1 in the book, then you can check the table 
of contents to see if everything after that is where it is supposed to be. 
This way you can find missing pages or duplicated pages.

There may be something missing, but you can probably just add blank
pages since the necessary pages are there.  The blank pages are usually
the even numbered pages.  So, many books look something like this

i Page with just title on it
ii blank page
iii Title page with title, author and publisher
iv Copyright page
v Dedication
vi blank page
vii table of contents
viii blank page

Pages at the beginning that have pictures or maps or something like that
may also have been deleted.

Or you could try to contact the person who scanned the book and ask what
comes before the preface.
