I have a children's book, Simple Spigott, which has pages with illustrations
with no text occurring throughout the book. The next page is numbered as if
the page with the picture page had a number: page 5 has text, what should be
page 6 has a picture, page 7 continues text from 5, for example. How should
I handle this, just comment on it in the comments field when submitting?
Thanks.
