I would add them. I have seen books without page numbers and I have seen
books in which the numbering of pages starts anew with each section, but I
have never seen a book that has only every other page numbered.

I'm scanning a book right now that seems to only have page numbers on the
left page, at least, so far the right doesn't seem to have any that come
through
on the scan. If this continues through the book, should I assume it is like
that in the hard copy? If so, do I add the page numbers to the right hand
pages
even if they were only on the left hand pages in the print edition? Or do I
leave it that way, with only every other page having a page number if
that's
how the print edition is? Thanks.

The first book I ever submitted I did not know or ever even consider about
page numbers. I got a nice email from someone who was proofing asking me
what
about pages such and such? I wondered to myself at first, what's the big
deal, the text is all good, and so on. Then soon I discovered she was
correct,
there was some missing and some duplicates. So lesson learned. It was
quite a learning experience, and ever since I have paid close attention to the
page numbers as I scan a book and then look it over to see that it all is
there before I submit it. The person who actually has the book in hand can
save
a lot of worry and problem solving by getting it right at the front end of
the project, I believe.
One thing I do now is to also look at the page numbers listed in the Table
of Contents when the book has one. To check to see if the page numbers for
the
corresponding chapters fall on that page and that there is a page number.
Sometimes there is a blank page at the end of a chapter or between them and
it will not have a page number printed but it is part of the pagination.
All of the business of how many pages your file has in your unit, that gets
sort of strange, and I always just look right away (so to speak, using
speech
or whatever) to see where pagination begins in the book, with roman
numerals, or whatever. They are not always marked, yet may be reflected in the
table
of contents. So I make sure as best I can that the pagination works all
like it is supposed to.
And I do move page numbers to the top even if they are at the bottom
myself. I know someone said they thought that might be changing too much from
the
original.
I have to say I do not think it does. In fact as a reader, if I hear that
the page number is at the end of a page I am usually fooled and am thinking
I am starting on the next page. Some good number of books from Bookshare
have two page numbers that do not match together in the text. I don't know
what is the reason this happens. I do get used to it, but it is a bit
confusing and I think, unnecessary if we who submit take on those tasks early on
and just pay attention as we go before submitting.
If I am out of line, sorry. Just going off what I have experienced thus far
in this little wee world of book scanning.
Thanks.

Hi Megan,
I have noticed that when Amazon gives a page count, it often includes
preliminary pages. Perhaps your page count will match if you add the number
of
preliminary pages, and the number of pages of actual text?
Good luck!

Yes, that's the one. It seems that the text portion has 164 pages, that's
the page count word and my BrailleNote gave me for the part without the front
matter but Amazon.com says it should have 176 so I'm not sure what the
inconsistency is related to. The book scanned great, no duplications or
omissions
so I don't know if I should just insert page numbers at the top of each
page even though it'll come out shorter than it supposedly should be or if we
could/should
go through and see what each page starts with.
I'm new at this, especially the page number policy, so just tell me
what I should do. Oh, can you do me two favors? Can you tell me what was on
the
title page, they told me I needed to insert one before the copyright when I
tried to submit it this morning, how many Roman Numerals there are and how
many pages? I want to make sure I get the title page right and maybe Amazon
got the page count wrong. Thanks!
I loved this book, I have to say. I was surprised and had just gotten
it thinking it'd be an easy read, but I really enjoyed it.

I think I scanned the book you are referring to, if it's Halloween Rain. I
have the book if there are any problems. I submitted it before BKS's page
number
policy.
