I'm trying to edit Thistle and Twig, by Mary Sauns, and I'm a little confused about the directions in the volunteer manual. I will paste what confuses me below. Blank pages are often found in the following places in books: list of 8 items . After the Table of Contents . After the Dedication . After the Acknowledgments ... Note that books often begin numbering pages with the first page of the main content, but page numbering can also begin with the first page of a book. When numbering begins with the first page of the book, then blank pages should be included in the front of the book to preserve page numbering. This book contains pages after the table of contents and in the back of the book before information that is not part of the core content: about the author, book jacket, and acknowledgements. However, no page numbers are listed outside of the core content. Do I keep the blank pages or squash them? I really want to do the job right the first time. Rosie
