Hi Sharon, Although blank pages should be kept, in order to keep page numbers in sequence, I don't think your book would be rejected without them. Early on, I submitted books that I had scanned, before I knew about bookshare. I had discarded blank pages, and I'm not sure if I even had page numbers anymore. If your book is good quality, I would go ahead and submit it, and perhaps explain the situation in the Comments field, for the validater. HTH, Paula
