That's fine. No problem if someone removes pages from the middle of a book as long as the page numbering is preserved. My problem is when someone deletes blank pages 8 and 9, so page 7 is immediately followed by page 10. When I look at the book in the approval queue, the page numbering is messed up, so I return it for more editing. If you include pages 8 and 9, and put [blank page] on them, then I'm a happy camper. I'll approve the book. Thanks for asking me to clarify!

In other words, it was like this: p 6 text picture page blank page p 7 text Kind of like picture inserts.
