Hi Jean, You don't need to add any pages. I've scanned books where the first page of the core content of the book is something other than 1, and there aren't enough preliminary pages to make up the difference. It just sometimes happens that way. So, just number back from your page 7 until you run out of pages and don't worry if you don't get back to 1.. Bookshare simply wants to see a page number on each page.

Hi, everyone: I'm uncertain how to handle the situation where Chapter 1 starts on page 7 but there are only 2 front matter pages before the beginning of Chapter 1. Are we allowed to add [BLANK PAGE] to make up for that, or would the book's page numbers start at a number other than 1? I know we don't ever delete a blank page but I wondered if we're ever allowed to add them. I hope that makes sense. Thanks, Jean
