I agree with Mayrie. I don't usually worry too much about the roman numeral pages going all the way back to i. As long as the required pages are there and I can make the pages that do have numerals on them match in terms of how many pages are between them, I figure it is good enough. Some books have a couple blank pages at the beginning or pages with maps or pictures. In any case, I don't worry about them.

Hi Charisma, Yes, I completely understand you. If you know certainly that the print book has some labeled preliminary pages, but labeling all of them still doesn't get you back to I then I guess you need to leave it that way. I would, however, make a note in the comments section of the form you fill out that there aren't any missing pages, but the book is written this way, so that no one handling the book after you thinks you've missed pages.

Do I count them and then work backwards? So if I have 5 pages before I'd label the first (closest to front of book) "i" and continue up to "v" But what if I have a book that HAS some pages with roman numerals in them already but they pages do not get us back to "i"? If I have a book that only has enough pages to go back to, say, "ii" What do I do? Just do it like that? I ask because I recently had a book that did this and--while I did not want to change the original text--it made the book look as it if began on page "ii" and I'd maybe made an error, leaving out page "i". There was not even a flyleaf leftover to label as a [BLANK PAGE] This is very confusing the way I am typing it.
