I leave the first header for a new chapter or new story, deleting those that
follow.

We have been told to delete page headers and I take that as meaning that they
all should be deleted whether they are chapter titles or not. On the other
hand, though, as a reader, I do not necessarily always want that. For example,
I am currently reading a book of short stories and the left headers, that is,
the headers on the even numbered pages have not been removed. Those headers
consist of the title of the current story. I prefer that they are there. When
reading that kind of book just a moment's inattentiveness at the wrong time and
you are on another story without having noticed it and you find yourself asking
what in blue blazes happened. Those left hand headers do help to keep track.

It went up today.
I have a question regarding headers. In a lot of non-fiction
books, the chapter titles (and sometime sub-chatper titles) are prined
on the left-hand page. Should all of these be deleted? I am about to
start scanning "Audition" by Barbara Walters; the book is over 800 pages
in length.
Also, books published by Oxford University Press have headers
which are centered on the right-hand side of the page; this means
irregular spacing, which is not consistent from page-to-page because of
the software. What do we do about this?
