Then please do explain. Why does Book 6 contain page breaks and not section
breaks if booked six is supposedly direct from the publisher and of publisher

That one may not have been replaced with a publisher quality book yet but it
seems strange. Oh if anybody is interested there is a seventh one called
crucible of gold in that series. Either somebody here will need to scan it or
contact the publisher for it it should be possible.
