Hi Valerie!
You are right that some pages just don't scan, even if they have
stuff on them, especially if that stuff is in some weird font, or
italicized. Italicized text seems to be the absolute worst for recognition
engines to recognize properly! I wonder if someone could get the book from
their library and check for you? Then you could rest easy knowing one way
or the other. I know things like that just stay on my mind and bug me if I
don't know.

Hi, Mayrie!
Not even a cover graphic on Amazon, unfortunately. I am almost 100% certain
it was there, just not recognized as text, but I went and submitted it
without and will offer a re-do if someone says it can be there. The number
and location of numbered blank pages make it very likely it was there, just
not appropriately recognized.
I was impatient and just sent it in. LOL
Take care!
Valerie
