To illustrate, where the enclosed numbers are the unarranged numbers: p.1: | |1| p.2: |2|3| p.3: |4|5| That way each arranged sheet (p.1,2, or 3) will be a spread from the final book, plus one saves paper. Gerben Wierda (12 March 2005) asked this question on the list, but I did not see an answer so perhaps it is difficult. I looked at the code in page-imp.tex and had hopes for \ejectdummypage but my experments didn't work. Also my hopes for a cheap hack also were dashed. I tried inserting a \null\page[blank] before the \chapter{First chapter}. But with doublesided pagenumbering, the chapter starts only on an odd page, so the single blank page turns into two blank pages. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
