<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi Ken,<br>
<br>
This sounds as good as you can get it without access to the sewing. A couple of
suggestions I'd make are give the second pi designation as a superscript
"2" and bracket the "1" of the first signed signature since
it's inferred, to read:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>pi<sup>4
2</sup>pi1 [1]-16<sup>8 </sup>17<sup>4</sup> chi1 18<sup>4</sup><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>
In case the superscripts don't make it through email: pi[superscript 4]
[superscript 2]pi1 [1]-16[superscript 8] 17[superscript 4] chi1 18[superscript
4]<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Well, here I go displaying my inexperience... It'll
take some time to get all the variants in signature statements down, so thought
I'd try a little public embarrassment and throw out this "odd" one:<br>
<br>
I have a book with 5 preliminary leaves (roman numeral x on last), an unsigned
gathering of 8, then the signatures kick in with numeral 2 through 16 in
eights; gathering 17 has 5 leaves, and gathering 18 (with heading
"Supplement") has 4. [Book is a 2nd edition, so the supplement
may have been added with this edition.] The binding is too tight to find
the sewing, so I can't tell which leaf in either groups of 5 is the extra.<br>
Here's my stab at a signature statement: pi4 2pi1
1-16<span style='font-family:"Cambria Math","serif"'>⁸</span> 17<span
style='font-family:"Cambria Math","serif"'>⁴</span> chi1 18<span
style='font-family:"Cambria Math","serif"'>⁴</span><br>
<br>
Did I handle the odd leaves correctly?<br>
