  • it was the design of the book, maybe if someone needed to jot down a note and they had the book with them they would be able to write in there.
  • because the author ran out of things to write.
  • For reference notes. Also every book is sewn from small book binds. Say the last one had 16. Thats 8 on one side, and 8 on the other side. If you use 12 pages, thats 8 on one side and 4 on the other. You'll fill the space with an author's small autobiography, but the rest stay blank.
  • My first thought was that these rounded out an even number of pages, or a multiple of 8, used in binding the book together. But I don't know for sure.
  • I find those blank pages to be very useful for jotting down notes or listing words that I have to look up in a dictionary. Perhaps this why publishers provide blank pages.
  • If you give the book to your boyfriend as a birthday present, and than you break up, and then when you got very drunk.. well that time this blank page is very usefull: you can leave a note there what you want him to find later whenever he take the effort to read the book again.. :) (i know the shitest idea, dont tell me.. :) )
  • Because books are bound with pages in multiples of 16. The remaining blank pages are the pages left over from the last group of 16 needed to print the rest of the book.
