Im at a bit of an impasse here. I dont have spare copies of the books, so I cant be specific (ie delete pages xi, xii etc)! I simply cant do that. With regards to the prelim pages, thats rather similar. I sent two prelim pages for each title, which I can set out again if needed. One is a title page, and one is a copyright page. All I want is for premedia to delete the scored out pages, and insert my two in title page, copyright page order at the start of the book. Can you advise on how I can set this out so that they will accept this?
