Hi, Mayrie!
Sorry if I was not clear. The physical book is not numbered, but the tool
numbers it and it only has half the page breaks of the actual volume. I
thought
I was told/had read somewhere that we had to retain all pages of the actual
book, but if it is an unnumbered book and there is no text, can or should we
delete them? The thought had never crossed my mind ... I just
always either described or said picture not described or blank page on pages
with no text. Occasionally picture descriptions can actually break the rhythm
of
a book that is sing-songy and things like that.
Valerie

Hi Valerie,
A quality report should be made if the pages containing pictures are numbered
in the book. Removing numbered pages throws off page count and should be
rectified, so that the book's page count and numbering are accurate.

I always check my books with books in the collection before donating them to
the library, schools, or needy families. I ran across a book that the page
count was off, and immediately I was thinking book quality report. However, I
looked deeper and half the pages were picture pages and the volunteers had
just
eliminated the picture pages. I was under the impression we were not to
remove
any pages, but in this case, it almost made sense. Doug and I could do a BSO
or repair and add picture descriptions, but was wondering what others think...
Feedback gratefully appreciated!Valerie
