I've seen books with lots of blank pages. I have also seen author descriptions at the end of stories. But, I don't think I have ever seen one where the author descriptions before a story are counted as part of the previous story.

Many thanks Mike.I'll try plugging in the blank pages before the author biographies and each story. That may do the trick.I've never seen such a strange numbering system.

R. MartinAs someone else said, the chapters may not line up because the ocr left out blank pages. Since all the stories begin on odd pages, there would be a blank even page before that if the story ended on the prevous odd page. In this book it is even a little trickier than that. Before each story there is a short description of the story by the author. These also start on odd pages and if it is only one page, then there will be a blank even page, then the story begins on the next odd page. The table of contents page numbers are for the first page of each story, not for the description before the story. Unfortunately, the google books preview is no help on what goes on before page 11 where the introduction begins, because that's where it starts.I hope this helps.

It is a collection of science fiction short stories about soldiers and soldiering.*It is a really good scan with very few scanos.However, I can't get the pages to line up properly. The contents says the introduction begins on page 11, and there aren't ten pages before it. However, if I go ahead and assume that the introduction really does start on page 11, none of the stories match the pages the contents says they begin on. **There doesn't seem to be a factor that I could add or subtract to make them all come out right.If there were other problems with the book, I would reject it. However, as I said, it's a good scan, and I'd like others to be able to read the stories.Isn't there a rule about ten percent of the pages matching? If so, what can I do?
