hi Vick, yes you do or the book won't be the appropriate length. Shelley L. Rhodes, VRT and Ludden Black Labrador Guide Dog Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule to the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in cases where it does not fit, is pedantry... To apply a rule with natural ease, with judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and without ever letting the words of the rule obscure the purpose of the action or the opportunities of the situation, is mastery. -George Polya, professor of mathematics (1887-1985) ----- Original Message ----- From: Vic Llanes To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, April 17, 2010 12:56 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] children's book & blanks I'm doing a children's book and every other page is blank. In all, it is less than 40 pages. I would think that those blank pages are picture illustrations. I know we have to keep blank pages as a rule but I am just feeling unsure cause there are so much. So, I do have to keep all those blank pages right? thanks Vic
