Are you sure it's not on Gutenberg? Btw, they would do the text and have all
the images in a separate folder. That's what they did in one story I'm doing
because it's included in an omnibus I'm doing.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Unique antique book problem with pagination
I need help on how to handle a unique pagination problem from within an
antique book. Sandi Ryan and I have been working on some books that were
published long ago (I'm guessing they are public domain since copyright is
1888), but it presents a unique pagination problem. It periodically has
pictures inserted that apply to the specific area that they are in, but the
picture is on an unnumbered page, the backside is blank, and pagination
continues. In other words there is a text page say number 24, a picture page
with no number, the backside is blank, and then the next text page is number
25. Moving the pictures to the end of the book would not be appropriate since
the captions or descriptions are appropriate with where they are placed. How do
I number such situations or do I just remove the page break and not worry about
the blank back side since it would further complicate things and does not need
accounting for in the pagination. I could simply remove the pictures and
captions since the captions are direct quotes from the text and the text very
well describes the sketches, but I always hate to do that since it seems like
removing something that the author placed there even if I can't describe the
picture any better than her writing does.
All help greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
