Arrange These in the Proper Order...
I am trying to read a book. I say "trying," because the first signature is arranged as follows:
Table of Contents
(Blank)
Page vii, General Editor's Foreward)
Page viii, Author's "Retractatio"
Front Matter (What do you call this first page that only has the title on it?)
List of Books in Series
Second page of Front Matter
Copyright Information
Page xiii, Third and Final Page of Editor's Preface
Page xiv, Acknowlegdements
Page 1, First page of Chapter I
Page 2, Second page of Chapter I
page ix, Second page of Author's "Retractatio"
Page x, Third and final page of Author's "Retractatio"
Page xi, First page of Editor's Preface
Page xii, Second page of Editor's Preface
Page 7-10, Seventh through Tenth page of Chapter I
Page 3-6, Third through Sixth page of Chapter I
Page 15, Fifteenth and Final page of Chapter I
Page 16, First page of Chapter II
Page 17-18, Second and Third page of Chapter II
Page 11-14, Eleventh through Fourteenth page of Chapter I
Page 19, Fourth page of Chapter II
From there it progresses in proper order. You may thus discern the frustration caused when one finds note 47 on page 14 reads, "See n. 14 above".
The pages are, in fact, printed in this order-- it is not a mistake in gathering the signature. Someone at Boydell & Brewer may have lost a job over this.
