I have never, ever, before seen this happen.
I'm scanning Paint It Black, one of the Sonja Blue books by Nancy A. Collins.
The page numbers are funky so I am having to put them in by hand. Well, I got
through a batch of 30 pages and I ended up one page too many. Naturally I
assumed I scanned one page twice, so I went back through each page, checking,
and I didn't screw up. But the book is screwed up.
For example, the numbering starts with page 6. When that happens, I usually
go back and number the previous pages just for continuity sake, and so there is
no question that a page might have been left out. So the page immediately after
page 6 is, take a guess.
It's page 8.
Yes, the page printed on the back side of page 6. It's page 8. Then the next
page is not numbered. Nor the page after that. But the next page is 11.
So so far we'd have page 6, 8, 9, 10, 11.
It gets stranger.
The page after 11 is 12. But the page after 12 is, 12. The next two pages are
both page 14. Then two 16's, two 18's, two 20's, two 22's, two 24's, two 26's,
two 28's, two 30's, two 32's, two 34's, two 36's.
I stopped scanning there because the pages I thought were 35 and 36 have like
hand written stuff so I stopped there to type in the handwritten letter to Judd
from Kitty.
So what am I supposed to do? Number the pages exactly as they are on the
print page? Leave the page numbers out (they do not scan because they're very
faint white on black blobs)? Won't people be confused if I put in numbers
exactly as it is on the print page? Will that screw up the daisy reader?
I have never seen a book done this way before. What gives?
