(For tracking: second attempt)
I have an old book named "Technical Reporting" by Joseph N. Ulman, Jr.
and Jay R. Gould. It is the third edition, dated 1972, published by
Holt, Rinehart, and Winston. It contains 21 chapters (and an index)
grouped into three sections. The following is an example of the
layout:
41 The last page of Chapter 4.
It contains text and a page number.
42 An unnumbered blank page.
43 An unnumbered page that contains "II"
(for Section II) and the words "The Report."
44 An unnumbered blank page.
45 The first page of Chapter 5.
It contains text and a page number.
46 The second page of Chapter 5.
It contains text and a page number.
47 The third page of Chapter 5.
It contains text and a page number.
48 The first page of Chapter 6.
It contains text and a page number.
All three sections start on recto, unnumbered pages. Chapters start on
both recto and verso pages. Unnumbered pages maintain the book's
pagination. Isn't that fascinating?
