Hi, Everyone,

I am validating "tar Baby" and have run into a problem with numbering pages.

In the book the page number seems to be only on the righthand page in the upper 
corner.  I have been adding the "missing number" to the top of the left page so 
that every page of the text will be numbered.Page breaks are fine.

Suddenly around page 175, blank pages are occurring every five pages or so.  I 
am validating an ark file with openbook.

These pages are not being added.  When I check the pagination of the book if 
numbered these blank pages would fall right into the numeric sequence of the 
book.  There is also no missing text.  I downloaded the nls web Braille  
version of the book to my bookport and am comparing the text when these blank 
pages occur.

However, these blank pages are appearing often enough that I think it would be 
annoying to mark each one and insert the words "this page is blank."  On the 
other hand, I do not like to change the actual page numbers as printed in the 
book.  I can't understand why there are so many blank pages as occasionally the 
blank page will occur right in the middle of a sentence.

Does anyone have thoughts about whether I should 1) number these blank pages 
and identify the pages as blank so that the numbers remain sequential, 2) take 
out the blank pages and have some page numbers missing but the remaining ones 
match the print book, or 3) leave out the blank pages altogether and change the 
page numbering of the file so that pages are sequential?

Sorry to go on so long but wanted to explain clearly the problem I am having.

Thanks.
