@jimmymimms: The number of pages in a book must be a multiple of 16, so if the text was 200 pages, it would need to be rounded up to 208 pages, leaving blanks at the end #books #funfact #BookTok
I thought it's so you could write your personal review 😭

Those are my notes pages for writing when I started and finished a book plus final thoughts, and key terms for major concepts for rereads

Yes everyone it is multiples of 4 but some printers can do 16 on a sheet and it’s cheaper that way cause less sheets

Random but is the book you’re holding a good worthwhile read? I’ve had it sat on my bookshelf for ages and haven’t picked it up yet xxx

This is because books are bound in what are called “signatures”, single sheets of paper folded multiple times to create a section of pages. The number of pages in a signature is variable and depends on the book's size and printing process, but it is always a multiple of four.

Did this not to be the case in the 18th century? Old editions of books I always find never have extra pages and just end at the last page
