If someone can do it with Googlebooks or Amazon peak, and help me get
anchors, I will insert proper page numbers.
Thanks,
Lisa

No problem. I've been tempted to just add in page numbers myself so I
understand. Rejecting a book is never fun so it's natural for one to want to
do whatever they can to fix it. But correct page numbers are important.
Thanks so much for your proofreading work!

Hi Allison,
I'm sorry. I won't do that. If I can't figure out where the page numbers
are with help of a sighted volunteer, I will reject it.
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi Lisa and others,
Please don't guess at page numbers and then put them in the file according
to where you think they should go. If you can get a sighted proofer to help
you identify some of the numbered pages and then fill in the missing numbers
from there then that's fine, but please don't just arbitrarily choose a spot
and start numbering. We'd like the book's content to be as close to the
original print book as possible. If you can't access the page numbers from
either the file you have or with help from another volunteer then please
reject the book. You can still finish reading your copy if you like, but
please don't proof and upload it with missing or incorrect page numbers.
Thanks!

If there are no page numbers in the print version then add them yourself. A
big advantage to this is that you can start numbering them on page one and
not be bothered with Roman numerals for preliminary pages. I always have
disliked page one starting any number of pages into the book.

Hi Friends,
I recently checked out a very challenging book. I already turned the
section breaks to page breaks, took out a url, took out a field, and did
some other formatting. However, the book has no page numbers. Should I
release it for a sighted proofer? Or can I simply put a page number on each
page, and hope I get it right?
I like the book, so I'd rather not release it. However, if it would be
better done by a sighted proofer, I want it to be done properly.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Lisa
