If the page numbers don't matter, like most small children's books, then
you can leave them out. But if there's a table of contents (like the
books in the Nature's Children series), then page numbers are required
in order to make the book's page numbers correspond to the page numbers
in the table of contents. Make sense?

You know, I have no idea if books back then didn't have page numbers,
smile. Just some.
Wonder what Bookshare's policy is.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question on children's book without page numbers
> Hi all,
>
> I'm proofreading a scan of a children's book published in the early
1940s. It's an excellent scan, with practically zero errors. The
scanner specifically put in the book comments that the book had no page
numbers. It's apparently not that the page numbers didn't scan - it did
not have page numbers.

> Is the lack of page numbers common in older books like this one? And
do you just note that in the comments when submitting it, since books
are supposed to (in the near future) have something like 90% of their
page numbers, and this one doesn't have any page numbers in the original
printed copy.
