In an ideal world (descriptive bibliotopia?) the statement would <i>start</i> with the word pages: pages 18, [5], 'viii', which is somewhat less ambiguous. Even so, what we have in 300 may be an uncomfortable and not always coherent sequence of page counts--the reason for the "pages ..." statement that I append to full collation notes, following the total number of physical leaves (including initial, internal, and terminal integral blank leaves).

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Say you have a sequence of 18 numbered pages, 2 unnumbered leaves (I am calling them leaves since they printed on one side only), 1 unnumbered page, and finally 1 page numbered "viii". How should I describe this? If I go with "18 pages,
[2] leaves, [1], viii pages" it implies that there is a sequence of eight pages where there is actually just one.<u></u><u></u></p>
