I do take the time to put in page numbers on every book I scan or validate if they do not come out well for whatever reason. However, in the case of your book, the fact is that I would probably have to get access to the book in order to put them in without risking making mistakes, whereas you already have the book and can put them in while you are correcting errors in the book. So I have to make a greater effort to do something that you could do while you already have the book right there. So, in effect, you offered me the chance to make an effort to do something that you could do more easily yourself.

I don't feel that was a very nice thing to say. You may remember, that I offered you the chance to put in my page numbers, but you declined saying you were just too busy. Well then, if you won't take the time to put in page numbers either, please don't complain orsay that the rest of us just don't care.

There will likely always be a minorityof submitters and/or validators who don't care about future readers, but Iam glad to see such a preponderance of posters in favor of maintaining page number integrity.

Please keep page numbers. E. At 02:05 PM 10/8/2007, you wrote:This is news to me that page numbers are "not" required. When eliminatingthe headings on pages that have been scanned, it would make my job much easier if I did not have to preserve the page numbers. This would mean abook without page numbers. I just started eliminating the headings, sincemost people want them removed prior to uploading. With fiction I could see that people would like to read and not be interrupted by pagenumbers. So what is the consensus here? Should I leave the page numbersin or out?

I've never had a book that had no page numbers at all fortunately. I just put in numbers where they are missing for some reason. Since they're not required as yet I suppose the validator doesn't have to add them either. Best. BudAt 10:59 PM 10/7/2007, you wrote: >Evan or Bud, I'll have my book ready to submit in a day or so.
