Many thanks Evan and Roger; what you've said has always been my opinion
so I'll include them in my "revised" proof. But -- have you ever
heard of numbering them with upper case roman numerals? that's what the
administrator who returned my proof to me ( wants me to do; I've never
done that before; just identified them in closed brackets : e.g. [front
cover[ front flap etc. they appear before the book is even opened and
before the lower case roman numeral numbered pages start. and wouldn't
be counted as the total of pages in the book because they aren't *in* the
book; well, if he/she wants me to do it I will I can always remove themif
I'mtold to later; I did write to ask but so far no answer.

One problem with inside flaps and back covers is that the font and/or the
contrast can make for bad scanning. In that case, I have to decide whether
it’s worth the trouble.
Every case is unique. Generally, I do make some effort to get as much of
that info as I can.

I don't think the dust jacket information is necessary at all, but a lot
of readers appreciate it if it contains a synopsis. So I do include it when
scanning. However, if it contains nothing but the title and author I don't
think I would bother with that.

The title and author's name appear on the title page that's inside the
book so maybe the cover &flap info aren't necessary; I think I won't
bother putting them in the revision unless people want them
