I just downloaded Thieves Dozen. There are a few page numbers, but only a
few in the copy I found. I looked only quickly, but even some of the
chapters don't begin on the pages mentioned in the contents. I did not
download the brf version, but I am going to do that now. I expect what will
be mostly missing are the actual page breaks. But that, for the moment, is
speculation.
