Question

Why do people leave pages intentionally empty in thesis or books?

Answer 1

Answer:

Blank pages in books and other bound works, on the other hand, are generally there because these works are often created by folding single, large sheets of paper in very specific ways and binding them all together. This group of pages is known as a “signature” and might include something like 4, 8, 16, or 32 pages out of a single large sheet. Regardless of how the paper is folded, the end result is going to be a book or booklet with an even number of pages. If you look carefully at the spine of a book you have lying around, you may even be able to see this sort of grouping of pages if you let it flair open a bit.

So, for example, if the content of the book fills 299 pages, the layout artist might choose a signature of 4- thus a minimum of 75 folded sheets making up 300 total pages, including one blank page. On the somewhat extreme end, if the signature comprises 32 pages (so 10 folded sheets making up 320 pages), you’ll have a whopping 21 blank pages, making this signature likely a poor choice here, though there still might be financial or technical reasons to use it anyway.

hope it helps you..!!

Answer 2

Answer:

In both cases, the page is there simply to prevent processing errors due to ink-bleed. Blank pages in books and other bound works, on the other hand, are generally there because these works are often created by folding single, large sheets of paper in very specific ways and binding them all together.
