Hi Kristin,
You could call your local library, perhaps, if they have a copy of
the book and ask them if the text of the story begins on page 1 or on some
other number. With that knowledge, you could know where to begin numbering
pages. You'd need to use the ISBN as reference to make sure that the
edition that your library has matches the one you're proofreading. If your
library doesn't have the book, perhaps just ask the submitter to tell you
that information?

Mary!
Would you know how I could obtain the page numbers for this book? I thought
this was the case for the daisy format files and I've never used them
personally however I can see where they would be important for the reader.
Thanks for any suggestions and assistance here. Your suggestions are always
extremely helpful and I'm sure others would agree with me on this list too
smiles! Take care and I hope you are having a spectacular evening!
Thanks
Kristin
