Hi,
I am adding my two cents to Carrie's. I agree , so now there are
four cents.

Well, the problem is that if you leave the pages blank, it confuses the
proofreader and the person approving the book (are those pages supposed to
be blank? maybe she missed something...) but if you put [blank page], it
annoys some readers. Can't win! Personally I would prefer to see [blank
page] because putting that in makes it CRYSTAL CLEAR to everyone - the
proofreader, the approver, the readers - that the page is blank. I imagine
some readers would wonder about the pages too.
My 2 cents, Carrie

Those pages were intentionally blank, as they separate parts of the book.
I
had my roommate look at the book, and she said that they are totally
blank.
So, should I write something like, "this page is intentionally blank"? I
would think that might be annoying to come across when reading the book,
but
I can do it, if you think it's best.

Hi Shannon,
I tried to return The Pearl Diver to the processing queue (I'll
explain why later), but when I clicked on the button to return it, I got a
system crash. I've alerted Engineering about this, so hopefully they'll
fix
it soon. Until they fix this bug, I can't return the book for more
editing.
The reason I returned it is because there were 6 blank pages -
numbers 35, 36, 207, 208, 235 and 236 (as I recall). The proofreader
thought
that text was missing from the pages, but I'm thinking that there were
pictures there, since the surrounding pages do not stop in mid-sentence.
Ah! Here's a workaround. I'll reject your book, you fix those pages
(either add the missing text or add [blank page] or add [picture removed]
or
whatever), and resubmit it. Want to try that?
Carrie

Kari,
It says that you proofread the book, and rejected it. Was there a
problem with the scan?
