Moloch | 3975 comments Someone asked me these questions:

1. if the last numbered page on a novel is 320, but the novel actually ends at what would be page 321, what should I put, 320 or 321?

2. if there are unnumbered pages with foreword, etc, then the text itself starts at page 1 and ends at page 100, should I add the unnumbered pages to the total or not?

I think the answers are 1. 321 and 2. no, but I'd like to hear other opinions. Thank you!

Catalina | 2066 comments 1) I've seen Rivka one time saing you count the page if the text continues on an unnumbered page, so 321
2) I'd say no

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments 1. I would agree with 321.

2. Definitely no. According to the manual we do not include introductory material with roman numerals, and I would put unnumbered introductory material in the same category as that.
