I used to write blank page in brackets until Pratik, I think, or Guido of
Gustavo--someone with a sense of humor, pointed out that as soon as I wrote
that the page wasn't blank any more. Now, if the page is included in the
pagination, Ijust put the number with a blank line before and after. If it has
an illustration I write the illustration. Usually the only blank pages that
aren't included in the numbering are the ones preceding the main text. Carrie,
I think, said we didn't have to include those, but when I do I just leave it
totally blank--page break hit return, page break.
