Works for me. I'll mark those pages as blank, and then, resubmit. Was
everything else fine with the book?

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?
