    Counting pages

    Not that I'm an expert but are there any blank pages throughout the book, eg to make clear where the next book starts? There are 4 books and 4 pages missing from the total so I'm guessing that when you finish book 1, say, the next page announces book 2 but is otherwise blank. This happened to me with The Darker Arts. The pages are counted whether they have a number/text on them or not.

     

    Could these be the pages you're missing?

     

    Nope. 1 book ends and the next page is already the next one.

    I'm not sure if any of you had this problem before. It's about adding book pages to each other and realizing that the number is smaller than the total page count.

     

    Currently I'm reading Earthsee. It's the german translation and it contains books 1-4 in it. It's not a box set but 1 big book. It has 925 pages (if you're not counting the 3 last pages with other book recommendations).

    The content table at the beginning lists at which page each book beginns.

    Book 1 starts at page 7

    Book 2 starts at page 237

    book 3 starts at page 417

    book 4 starts at page 673

     

    My problem here is that no matter how I count it I can never make it so that the sum of all the pages is 925.

    Book 1 starts at page 7 and has to end at page 236 =     229 pages

    Book 2 starts at page 237 and has to end at page 416 = 179 pages

    Book 3 starts at page 417 and has to end at page 672 = 255 pages

    Book 4 starts at page 673 and has to end at page 925 = 252 pages

    If you count that together it adds up to                             915 pages.

    Because book 1 starts at page 7 you also have to ad         6 pages to the total.

    That adds up to                                                                921 pages.

    4 pages are missing. What happened here?

     

    I may have a theory though. If I count from page 1 I would need 924 pages to page 925. But I guess I have to count from a "page 0" to get to 925. Is that what happened here? Do I have to basically add 4 pages that start at 0 for it to result in 925?
