I usually leave them in but it's okay if you take them out. The important part
is maintaining the page numbering once it starts (on page 1). Before or after
the main text isn't nearly as crucial.

What
about all those blank pages at the beginning of books? Sometimes
2-4?

No no
no, if there's an extraneous blank page between 2 consecutively numbered
pages, please delete the extra blank page, because leaving it in would also
throw the numbering scheme off. Sorry I didn't make myself
clear!

Carrie, For example, if a book has a blank page
between 49 and 50, how would numbering that page help? It seems to me you
would end up with two page 50s. I'm sure you don't want us to change the
print
page numbers. What don't I get here? Jill

[bksvol-discuss] protecting chapter titles, adding page numbers to blank
pages
Hi gang,
Someone asked me to speak about protecting chapter
titles:
If there's a page number at the top of each page, there's no
problem, everything's fine. If there's no page number at the top and
the first word on the page is not 'chapter,' then there's no problem,
everything's fine. But if the very first word on a page is 'chapter,'
then the stripper thinks that it's a header (instead of the chapter title)
and promptly removes the line. To avoid this, just add a line with
'chapter'
on it above the REAL chapter title, and the stripper will remove the
extraneous line, and everything's fine, the sun will shine on
everyone!
About blank pages in the middle of a book:
Please add
the appropriate page numbers to all the blank pages in the middle of your
books. Blank pages at the beginning, between the title page, copyright
page, acknowledgments, and all that, are okay. But there's one type of
Braille machine (Kurzweil?) that deletes blank pages, so immediately the
whole numbering scheme gets thrown off. Adding page numbers to blank
pages prevents this from happening, and it also lets people know that they
are not missing a page of text from the book.
Actually I think most
people do a very good job at handling both these situations, so I'm just
blathering in general, not trying to criticize anyone in
particular.
