Sue, I agree with Kenneth. If you have been able to determine that all pages are there, page numbers are not necessary. Page numbers are typically left in the book by submitters to assist the validator in ensuring that there are no pages missing nor there are duplicates. Once the determination is complete, page numbers can be removed. My personal preference is to leave page numbers in the book and just to clean up or remove the rest of page headers. But that is personal preference. A clean page header should appear as the very first line in a page, it should contain no misspellings or junk characters, and should be followed by a blank line. If the book had page footers instead, let the footer be the very bottom line in the page, and let the previous line be blank. Page headers and footers will be stripped by the automated Bookshare stripping tool, but will be retained in an archival copy to be used in future enhanced versions of Bookshare Daisy books.

There are a lot of books on the System that do not have page numbers which correspond to the actual contents page.
