minus-squarerenegadespork@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1 day agoI always thought that is funny, but I think they do that to ensure blank pages aren’t skipped by the printer.
minus-squareMidnitte@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoProbably helps protect the pages before being bound too (at least historically)
minus-square👍Maximum Derek👍@discuss.tchncs.deOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·edit-22 days agoJust once I want one of those to say what it really means. Please don’t return this book, it hurts our numbers. We just had an extra page ¯\(ツ)/¯

minus-squareOpenStars@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoSo then it would affect literally all the pages in the book, if it were removed!?!:-P
minus-squarelugal@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoWell, it’s not uncommon to leave the first page blank or with some generic stuff. Someone else already pointed out that it might be an inside joke
