This may sound way too "pertickuler," as my big sister used to say, but here goes:
Each novel in the series I'm working on is split into parts or divisions. Each division has its own title page, with the dates of the action under the title, and of course each division title falls on the right hand, or recto page.
In an ideal world, I would have a blank verso page opposite each division title, but in the first book in the series it so happened that the last page of each previous section fell on the left, or verso, side. I couldn't stomach the added cost of two blank pages before each title, so I said, "Oh, well," and let the new divisions start right away.
Now I'm dealing with Book 2, and it's not behaving. Some of the divisions end on the right, some of them end on the left. Will readers notice and say, "Yuck, how unprofessional!" if some of the titles have a blank page before and some of them have none?
Or am I just being picky?
