Hi,
I have a question about a book that has already gone through the scanning and proofreading process. I just finished reading Heaven by Randy Alcorn. It is scanned very well except for one place which I think it kind of an important place. In the last 2 chapters of the book it is talking about CS Lewis's Narnia Chronicles and it keeps referring to Asian's land and the land of Asian. Having read some of the Narnia Chronicles I know it is supposed to be Aslan the charector who represents Jesus. But I can sure see why it would have scanned and come out that way. Can a book be changed once it is in the system when a change affects the text like that?

Yes; I can see the page breaks.

There truly don't seem to be missing pages, just missing page numbers.

Page 22 might end with:

And the dog barked ...

And page 24 begins with fiercely, clearly intending to protect his friend.

The text flows logically, only the page numbers don't.

You have no way of detecting page breaks?

That's the problem, though. There seems to be no page to connect them to. 22 finishes. 24 starts up, apparently in the logical place where 22 ended. But
the page number says 24, not 23.

I would add them. Sometimes, they are lighter than the rest of the text or
something like that, and the OCR just misses them.
Thanks,

Good Morning,

I have a book that has missing page numbers, but not missing pages.

It's possible that the original book was misnumbered in spots, but I'm
not certain.  Should I retain the page numbers as written?

For instance, you'll see page 1, 2, and then 4 ... then the numbering
is fine until you see 22, and it skips 23, then resumes proper numbering.
Then
it skips page 30. Now I'm up through 80, and all the other page
numbers
are
there.

When a page number is skipped, it does not appear that content is
skipped, more like someone just skipped a number.

Thanks for any advice.
