Hi Jill, I once uploaded a book with just the page numbers, with no indication that some pages were blank. It got put back on the check-out page with a note telling me to supply the missing pages. Since they were blank, I then indicated this on the blank pages and it went through.

I would also be sure that this page had a number if this were necessary to preserve continuity. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Rains" <scottr@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 18, 2010 1:27 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: designating blank pages > Jill, > > Maybe this section of the manual helps: > > https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/4.+Proofreading+a+Book#4.ProofreadingaBook-don%27tremoveblankpages > > Scott Rains > Benetech Fellow, Bookshare Volunteer Department > ________________________________________ > From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Valerie Maples > [vlmaples@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Friday, June 18, 2010 11:26 AM > To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: designating blank pages > > Hi, Jill! > > I think it is helpful for people when there is a blank page to have it > mentioned so that the place is held and they know that they did not miss > any text or pictures.
