The policy is that if there are unnumbered pages before the first lower
case Roman numeral page they should be numbered with capital Roman
numerals. If you put the dust jacket material first then I suppose that
should be the kind of numeration they will get.

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
